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?

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!
