C55 chrome headlight rings

Anyone know where to get them?

Do the 2005 C320 rings fit the C55? I dont think so but am looking for feedback from someone who actually has the chrome rings on their 2005 C55, not just speculation.

Any thoughts?

Don't do it! The chrome rings look cheap on any Benz IMO. I think you'll find most members on here don't like the chrome rings either (on the front or rear). I would suggest not putting them on...spend your $$$ on better things.

I agree about headlight rings being ugly and a waste of money.

FYI, the C55 has the same headlights as the CLK, so regular C Class headlight rings wouldn't fit. You would need the ones used on the CLK.

That was why I once asked someone to show us a photo of C55 with rims on them. The concept is cheap, but I like to see the effect of it.

You can not get them for a C55. My dealer told me that the chrome headlight rings are not made for the C55 or CLK-classes.

I liked the pics I saw, so I bought some off of eBay and found out that they looked awful.

Whatever there's gas in...
I totally dissagree, I chrome accents on my 02 Glacier White S55 and they look fine! (door handles, tail lights, headlights..) they really make the car look more aggressive. I updated my tail lights and put the lorinser trunk and roof spoilers on it and the 03+ exaust tips (sorry I cut my exaust but they look good) I'll post pics in the pictures thread when I have time!
