not a fan of black wheels but look around maybe you will like silver finish wheels.

I am also having the same delima....I have "blacked out" everything else but dont know weather to go with all black, black w/ chrome lip or black with red lip? Also where to look for mercedes aftermarket rims? There are some on ebay but I am weary about them...where or what should we do?

It's a matter of personal preference, but I think it would be sweet! That black on black look, with a trace of red would be very nice...

I think that would look great on the Clk if you paint the callipers red. The red lip on the wheels would then have something to relate to.

I also think that it would look great only on black car.

That is SO true! I looked at that CLK with the big fat red line on those wheels and BARF!
The thin red line on the Porsche looked gnarly, fast and sweet. But I think without the red calipers it would just be so-so.
So it sounds like I should go buy a black Porsche with red calipers and red-lined wheels. I should really easy to pick up chicks then!
Too bad my wife would complain about the chick thing...
