Thanks

Some folks are trying to talk me out of painting the center to match the car. I think it will look nice.

Traumadoc..I think your rims would look nice painted the designo graphite.

FORZFED...My wife did that with her car and it looks good but for my own personal taste I would go with black. I like the look with tinted windows... IMO

The VSA come in white heres a pic..

Colored centers

Those look great in white. The Vellano site has a S class with what appears to be matching centers (although they may be brushed aluminum).

Your car looks great. I had a CL500 and painted the centers the color of the car (almondine black). Looked nice as well.

IMHO, I really like your CL much better than the new ones. I was going to wait for the new CL. Saw one in person last week and am happy with my purchase.

Thanks for the photos.

Thanks for the comments. Funny thing was I wanted your model car for a while. Then decided to keep mine and do the Renntech upgrade instead. I really like the CLS look though it is very classy!
Dont like the new CL either. Not a big fan of the body style.

Yes, those are brushed on the S550. Exactly what yours look like if you do not paint them.

Be sure to post some pics when there installed!
