Best wheel color for my black C55?
I know it's a matter of personal preference, but nonetheless I would just like to know what others think.
I have a set of 19" silver Bremmas which I was about to install last weekend, but at the last minute I suddenly toyed with the idea of changing it's color.
What do you think is the best color combo for a black C55? (Most of the pics here are from forums members, no copyright infringement intended
)
1. Keep it as is (silver, polished lip):
2. Black spokes, polished lip:
3. Gunmetal spokes, polished lip:
4. Lastly, gunmetal all the way! (Couldn't find any pics for this though)

I say go with the gunmetal. I also have a black C55 and I think I am going to go with gunmetal sometime in the future.

I would have to say gunmetal too.
Does anybody know if the OEM AMG Style IV wheels came in other colors (aside from silver) from the factory? If yes, what color and for what specific MB models?

white and whiter
the gunmetal color on the E55 wheels are oem AMG paint for the wheels. it is very hard to duplicate. same goes for the BBS gunmetal.
i'd say gunmetal as well, but you gotta find a good place that can get as close to the original color as possible to look that good tho.

It was optional for the SL55 standard on SL65. The CLS55 030 had the same wheel but in silver I believe. No other type iv were released in gunmetal. The CL65 came with them also.

silver or gunmetal with polished lip if you're running bremmas. I now have brabus monoblock replicas and they're silver as well...i don't think gunmetal would look good on those.
