W208 CLK55
My W208 with black rims
This is my 2001 CLK55 on 18" Brabus Monoblock VI replica wheels. The car came with the wheels on it and when I was looking at the pictures of it before I saw it in person, I wasn't sure if I was going to like them over the factory wheels. A few weeks later, I think the black really sets it off and the car gets a lot of attention and compliments. The left front/rear wheels have minor dents on the inner area and I was looking to get them repaired but Kwicksilver wants about $85 for each and I'm not sure it's worth it. A tech across the street suggested that I try to do it myself with a hydraulic tool from Harbor Freight Tools. The vibration is very subtle although I can still imagine that it's wearing out my steering components and driver's side mirror. I think the car still could use H&R springs and I'm fighting with myself over whether or not I should smoke the taillights, I'm wondering how much it would cost me just to see if I like them on my car or not 
I think the AMG plate and license frame match the wheels pretty well. I also have the 17" factory wheels with some heavy duty rash and was contemplating swapping them with LAwheel for a chromed set but shipping to Charlotte is gonna cost $180 on top of the $500 for the swap 
Maybe I'll stick with what I've got for now but new tires are calling soon. And since I'm already 
I should be posting some pics of my grill #5 before and after blacking out the center pillar as soon as I find some blackout tape. Any idea if Pep Boys might carry it? Anyhow, I hope these pics help you decide. flame on

Hey, I know this is not exactly what you asked for but I thought it could help the cause and at least give you an idea. These aren't my cars, I am not sure who they belong too either. They were just some pics that I had on my laptop that I got from somewhere.
I was contemplating the same thing, if I should go black rims or not. Good luck with the decision. Please post pics if you do go with the black rims.
