Question please

Hello all,

My first post here. I tried yesterday in the wheels section with no luck. I just purchased a white 2012 c300 for 11k 4 year warrant brought it to 13k. I love it naturally.

Please pardon if I am posting in the wrong section. I mean no disrespect. I always found white cars with black rims so awesome looking. I wanted to know any suggestions please on the best and cost friendly ones if any one has any suggestions?

I also dobt don’t mind buying used ones if anyone has for sale. Again please pardon if I am doing something wrong. Thanks all. Much appreciated.

If that's your car it has factory aluminium wheels and bkack-wall tires, what's wrong with that? If you want white-wall tires, they went out of style probably 40 years ago, gone.

No sir, I’m looking for suggestions on buying black rims and where to buy. Again my apologies if it this against rules.

If anyone has an old set I would be duly interested.

Guess I didn't understand, if you want black wheels there are plenty of choices. First figure out what size you need and also decide if you're going to keep the same tires or buy new ones. In the meantime you could always take the wheels off, mask off the tires, cleans the wheels really good and spray them with a rattle can of either glossy, semi flat or flat black paint to see how you like it. If you clean the wheels good it'll last a while. You could also powder coat them but that'll cost more.

thank you my friend. That sounds intriguing. Is there any dyi that explains the process? I’m not looking to make the rims any bigger. Just something black thats affordable and reliable. I am in totally in love with the car though. You can really tell how German engineering stands out. I was gonna go with the 328i but this has better reviews. I even named her ‘Sub-Zero’. The only modification I would like to do is the black rims.
