Does anyone know the exact black the C63 black series wheels are coming with stock? Is mercedes using gloss black, matte black, or satin black? Also, the other AMG vehicles (SL63, Sl65, S63, SLS) listed on the MB website have black wheels as a option when building. What color are those? Mercedes just lists "black" but that isn't very specific. Thanks

and Here's a video of the wheels I'm talking about.

They call it matte, but it is actually more of a satin.

Thanks for response! I'm in the process of having my stock wheels powder coated black which is why I need to know the color. The car shop that is doing it for me said they have three different blacks: gloss black, matte black and satin black. I really like the color on these C63 BS wheels so I would like to match them on mine.

Go with satin, it should look closest to stock and another plus is that it will be easier to clean and keep clean. I have matte gunmetal aftermarket wheels on my C BS and while they look amazing they are a pain to clean. if I could do it all over I would have done a satin gunmetal

Yep, I was leaning towards satin and this just confirmed it. Satin it is. Thanks again
