Advice Needed (to dip or to not to dip)

Hey everyone,

Black C250 Sport on 19" Vossen CVT's.




And they look pretty good on...






But being a black car, I'm playing with the idea of having them piano dipped and keeping the face the same silver. Very professional shop says $450 not including tire dismounting.

Personally I think they will look amazing on black (red or yellow calipers coming soon too)


Thoughts?

to be honest I think it would look good either way i really like how they are originally but it would probably look equally as good if you did the black with the mirror face like the AMG multi spokes look.

Ultimately its your choice, also It would probably look good in all black hahaha decisions decisions

I know right! Piano Dip is beautiful too. Glossy and all. Red Calipers and you know how AmG wheels have the stamp or 'protruded' out AMG on the wheel? Well mine has 'Vossen' so I plan on painting it the same color as the caliper.

these centre caps would look sick if you did red callipers I was going to get them but I might not paint my callipers yet so no point

My center caps are 72mm...will 75mm fit? as i guess the 75mm means the outside while the inside is made to flex down to 70ish'

im unsure but I've seen one on ebay for 15$ so you could risk 15$ to find out if you really wanted to hahaha I wouldn't have a clue if they flexed that much sorry some of the ones on ebay have a chart and say they will fit but thats for OEM rims Vossen probably has different sizes
