I voted black as flat black goes best with a flat black paint job. I like smoked best though...65 19"s ftmfw

No chrome
No lip
Hyperblack or similarly titaniumish shades.
Red stripe. Looks good on Jordan's representation, and is a coming scheme.

How about flat black with gloss black lips? Should have a 4-4.5" lip in the rear if you go 3pc.

my opinion on a Black CLS = chrome lip / brushed center!
Insanely clean, looks incredible to anyone...Old people, young people, chicks, dudes, babies, dogs...ANYONE!

Aggressive= chrome lip / matte black center
clean, but more aggressive.

crazyness= matte black lips with red pinstripe (but you have to paint the calipers red to match)
CF centrer disc...NUTS! but it wouldn't be my first choice.


And whatever you do man, you have to lower it!

Brushed or black for sure. Matte black would look bad, especially when the car is gloss black.

Its like mixing a navy suit with black shoes. Doesnt work.

Joey,

You know what i think already, but here's some pics. The brabus looks good to me. but the reverse flat paint and glossy wheels yech.
to each his own i guess.

Nice white cls btw tom. just didnt like the fender ports, looks "buick" but looks definately from asia. i like the contrast of white with the grill. wondering if that's flat white or white/blue i dunno.

Honestly, the best color is the AMG gray used on the SL65 wheels.



There is no better color for a black car.

Black on black tends to be overkill.

Talking

If im not mistaken, joey will get the spec5 from 360 forged just like me , possibly black, flat black, chrome or even the carbon fiber. i still like the brabus pic above great car and wheels. has anyone seen the brabus monoblock in 20 x 11 for the rear?

Flat black brabus wheels is the best option for aftermarket.

Hands down.
