so this is a really bad 2 min ps just to get an idea of how it would look...I think I like it better the way it is now (although I dont think the black is all that bad)...what do you think

 

Looks like a gangster car. Stick with what you have.

 

oh I will....no doubt about that...just having some fun

 

I like it...I actually ordered a set of black 20" Brabus Mono VI in black for my S55. Ill post some pics when I get them installed.

 

looks better on a black car imo.

 

I agree. IMO silver is a hard color to get wheels for. Polished and chrome don't look right to me. Brushed w/polished lips look correct and body color paint + polished lip looks good IMO.

 

i was actually looking at custom making monoblock vi's when i was looking for rims but after doing a ps job like your's, i didn't like it.

I would say on a silver paint job, black on chorme/polished lips rims don't look right.

 

Top picture is better looking IMO.

 

so top car is my car as it looks today (well I've since added the euro bumper strips)....while there is no question I will stick with my wheels as they are (silver) I wonder if from a different angle the black would look better...from a different angle you would pick up the black in the sport grill along with the black pano roof....when I have a minute I'll do this again with another pic that highlights those other two elements (along with the black wheels)

 

Maybe if you tinted the windows but I agree with lig on the color/rim combo options.

 

Definately Brushed centers on a silver car , or a light/medium charcoal paint.

 

Gangster Style man .

 

Black will only look good with more aggressive themed mods.

 

Silver

 

The black wheels look OK....my Porche 944 had black wheels on it and they looked pretty cool......but on a MB, stick with the silver/chrome wheels. The silver wheels look great with the silver body.

 

Tastefully done, Brav. Always like the way you have modded your car.

 

Personally, I'd go with black or gun metallic rims with a polished lip. My favorite E55 thus far.

 

hey there,
what size is those rims on the e55? also style and type of rim?
thanks

 

I like the silver ones personally. What size of rims are those, and what size of tire?

Will a rim that is 18x8.5 with an ET of 35 fit a 03 E320? What would be the best tire size. Car won't be lowered, and I don't want any rubbing. Any suggestions?
