Hey guys,

i want to know your opinion.

The thing is, that i love blacked-out theme as you can see on my W211. That is the same, what i want to do with my CLK55, blackout headlights, gloss black brabus style grill, paint all the chrome mouldings in black and also the one around windows. I just like the clean black look, except the taillights, wanna use the LED ones. Even the badges are gonna be painted black.

But i am not sure about black wheels. Somehow i really like the look of BBS LM, but painted black, they just dont look right.
What do you guys think, when the whole car is gonna be blacked out as mentioned above, but fitted with these 19" staggered gunmetal LM's, would that look good?


Here is a photoshop pic(not my car), that is exactly what i plan to do, still not sure about the wheels, but i think, it looks tight.



Post your opinions please !

if u black-out the car and the rims are gunmetal... i think they will stand out and be more noticeable ..
I like the look of the BBS LM on the clk

I think they will look great. Have you seen James's pics?

James where did you get your wheels from and how much did you pay?

BBS are great rims. NPZ have you thought of trying the rims Dyno got on now.

They would be awesome for a blacked out theme

You can never go wrong with BBS LM wheels. The gunmetal will also look nice on your car.

Speedriven1

I think gunmetal.

You mean forgestars? Yea, i like them a lot, but you cant get them in EU, and shipping costs, duty and tax will make them really overpriced.

James's Linea corse wheels are hot, but painted black, they just look too small IMHO. That' the reason of thinking about gunmetals.

put me down for gunmetal.ur cars look niiiiiice bro

Those are both pretty bad angles, they honestly look better in person. I got them used off of a member on here for fairly cheap but I had to fix a bunch of curb rash and paint them black.
* I just got some BFG KDW II's with a little bigger sidewall too so it should help fill in the fender some. I'm also only on eibach springs because I wanted to retain some of the stock drivability so the gap is a little larger.

That black CLK looks perfect.

mikata

gunmetal but not BBS, AMG rims:-)

Can never go wrong with some BBS LM's I plan on getting the Linea Corse Lemans soon because BBS is so expensive X_X.

Heres a link to the Linea Corse Lemans:

I was gonna do the same untill i saw Varrstoen. The LM Replica they make looks amazing. They also make great TE37 reps. I'm gonna call to see if they make a MB fitment, maybe a group buy?
