Granite Grey with black wheels??? Anyone with photoshop skills?

Okay my car had to be repaired due to parking it outside and someone deciding they needed my cars parts more then I did.

Lights, mirrors, all grills, badges, you name it they took it.

Anyways, They attempted to remove the rims and could not. Since they were not that bad and instead of accepting 4 new ones(they only had a few light scratches) I had him paint them black with a lip to match the car color. The center caps will be black also with only the mercedes emblem showing in the original chrome.

Now, I am second guessing my decision. Does anyone else have any input on this? Am I just worrying over nothing?

white and whiter
which rims? stock?

go all black if you want them black. I never like the idea of matching the lip of the wheel to the body color.

Yes they are the stock rims for the C55.

The lip was going to be a really small line about 1/4 inch wide in body color..

So you think all black....

I wish my photochop skills were better....
