White is right

But I'm just a little biased. :p You see silver and black Benzo's everywhere. Way too common.

Definately White..

So PIMP a color... almost every other color is too common nowadays.

Here in Scandinavia we almost never see white cars.. let alone white benzos.

GO WHITE. And thanks for the very nice pics of your white rides... loving it.

Car & Driver called the C55 an "Outlaw in a Hugo Boss suit".

You tell me, which would you rather be seen in?

There might be a change of plans. It looks like I can get HRE 540R's for about ~$300 more than the BBS LM's so I might go with the HRE's instead. Any reason why I shouldn't go with HRE's? The reason I am hesitant to go with BBS is because fitment in the front might be an issue with the amount of lowering I want. HRE is 15 minutes away from where I live so I can have them do a custom fit.

So, I feel expensive white benz is very 'classy'
In Japan, the white Mercedes always have a very gangsta appeal......

White all the way !! I had a black Benz before and i loved it but white really does show the body lines better. I would get a 5 series in black because it hides the lines. White all the way !

Blac definitelly looks a lot better when it's clean. I emphasize the CLEAN part! It takes a lot more work keeping a black car clean then a white one. When it is nice and washed though it looks amazing during the day and at night.
White cars are much easier to keep care off but the coats aren't as reflective as black cars, so I don't think it looks as good.
In the end it doesn't matter what color you get a c55 in cause it's a c55 :v !

how bout white exterior and carbon fiber hood(looks black)
wheels can be black with polished lip.I think the interior if they had it, white would be real nice. I seen white interior on someones car in mtv cribs, and it looked real nice. im sure it will be hard to keep clean thats for sure.
or even a combo interior of white and black leather and white console would be cool too.
also paint the roof black, like the way the E class looks with its panoramic roof.
also driver should be black to offset all that white interior leather.
so driver might need to get a extra dark tan. of course u would need to wear a white suit to offset your skin.
