C55 AMG
Car is brilliant silver.
I don't plan on leaving the C55 stock, (thinking Kleemann SC) I want it to look like the factory modified it, so I want a bit of subtleness in the look, hence the stock wheels but with a bit darker gray hue.
I have a 2000 Ford Lightning in silver with the stock wheels done in a very dark gray and it makes the vehicle look rather sinister.

I knew I ran across that picture somewhere on these forums. I had it in a folder of unique wheel finishes that I compiled while trying to decide on buying bright silver/gunmetel/or black OZ Ultraleggera wheels. I ended up going with the bright silver.

I want to do this to my CLK55 wheels as well. I was looking for the gunmetal amg color code but I had no luck. There was a guy on ebay a while back that claimed to have it...
There was also a powdercoated set for sale. I saved a picture for reference.

There is no paint code for the AMG centers - I tried. Jaguar Gunmetal Blue is the color I found. It's very close the AMG color.

You would have to strip the wheels down to bare metal first. Very labor intensive and $$$. Center caps are plastic. Have you considered paint instead? Might be cheaper and look just as nice.
