My car has the matte black wheels currently. I wanted to color the wheels but not sure what would match the cars paint . Other than Black and silver has anyone seen a nice color combo for wheels that will go with the Solarbeam yellow ?
If you have links to pics that would also be great .
Thanks

I think you are going to be limited to blacks, silvers and gunmetal/greys. matte gunmetal with a gloss solarbeamish lip stripe/pinstripe might look cool. House of Kolors makes a color nearly identical to solarbeam, it's called Sunrise Pearl paint code PBC-30.
I'd stick with the black wheels and paint the calipers to match or the CC Brake color that's standard burnt orange looks really good on the solar beam yellow

I agree here. I had a local guy refinish my calipers from red to VHT Burn Coppper (a close match to what MB uses for the CCBs). I think that would complement Solarbeam well while adding a nice pop of color against the black wheels:

Looks great!
Did they have to remove the calipers completely to paint them?
Also approximately what should I expect to pay for caliper paint job (materials and labor included)? Thanks
- Sanding down original finish
- Multiple coats of VHT Burnt Copper
- Applying high-temp AMG logos
- Finishing coat of epoxy
He left the calipers on and masked off everything. Sure, he may have missed some hard to reach spots by not removing them but I can't tell. He did the labor and provided the materials for $400 (you can DIY for much less but I don't have a garage to work in).

Matte black is fine. you've already paid 10K for the paint so why add another waste to the wheels

LOL, I had my gold CC calipers painted black on my SLS Black Series and when I converted my C63 Black Series to CC brakes I had the gold calipers done red.

Where can I get the high-temp AMG logo? Did you but this online ?
