You might consider black chrome I had it done to mine awhile back.

2008 clk550 - Navigator - Frontier

Well, I prefer the hypersilver. When I save enough money to have my stock AMG 18" refinished properly (had the paint job done about 2 years ago and it turned out badly) I will have them done in hypersilver with the lips machined. I like the Mandrus wheels (18") currently on the car, but prefer the stock (properly refinished). (silver 2008 clk550 - kleeman headers and ecu - h&r springs and sways - sec cats replaced with magnaflow x and y and 2x3 ft of 2.5" tubing.)

Love Louie's black chrome.

Not a big fan of the OEM black wheel look. Some aftermarkets look amazing. Forgestar.

Hype silver would be my vote on your silver car.

I am getting close to listing mine once I get my new wheels put on. The rears are perfect, but the fronts have some curb rash. I am thinking I would be happy getting $400ish for the set. Dunno.
