polished or white?

getting my cl500 on monday, if all goes as planned and teh car is in good condition of cource.

i'm looking to get a set of rims, they look GREAT in brushed (non-chrome) look, but i'm wondering should i have the rims powder coated to match the color of the car(white?)


does anyone have any cl500 pic's white on white? or anything similar?


looking at these rim's, whats the most i can go width wise on teh back?

Go Brushed

I think the brushed would look better, it would give it more of a classy touch over the white. But you can't go wrong either way. This is the only picture I could find of a CL

Brushed w/ Chrome Outers
F: 20x9 (2" lip)
R: 20x10 (3" lip)

Polished vs White

Yes, those are &S2 wheels. You can get almost any manufacture to brush or powder coat the wheels to whatever color code you want. That is one of the advantages to having a 3pc wheel. You could even powder coat or polish the outer rim, which has become quite popular without reducing the appeal of the CL.

What city are you in? I am sure I can recommend a shop in your area that would give you a good deal on 3pc wheels, or help you find whatever specific wheel you are looking for.

thats what I was thinking, I think it would look so hot on the CL. Paint matching the lip with a black face would definitely be the way to go.

Check around with your local MB dealerships before you purchase any aftermarket warranty to make sure they accept it.
I have mine through Warrantech and have have good luck with it so far.
