What colors do the 2007 w211 sport wheels come in?
Does anyone know all the colors the oem wheels come in. I thought it was only machine faced color and chrome. Is there a silver? OR is the silver the machine faced color?

There are posts detailing 2 different version, silver - machined. At least thats the discription provided by the membership. I believe cars with a XX/07 build date may have different ones (I think).

For some reason, there were 2 different versions of the 07 18 inch Sport wheels put on these cars. (Maybe 2 different suppliers.... ust a guess) One had certain areas of the wheel (around the wheel bolts & the top portion of the spokes) polished to a shiny metal color. The other version the wheels were painted a "silver" color instead of being polished like that.
I ust had to replace all 4 wheels on my car due to theft, and I was sure to reorder the shiny, polished version that was originally on my car. I can tell you these new wheels are much more polished & shiny than my original polished wheels were, and the are beautifull. So maybe that means there are now 3 different versions, 2 with the same polished stock number & 1 version with the painted stock number.

Thx for the info. I was thoroughly confused when I kept seeing the same wheels appear differently..I wasn't sure if it was the lighting,angles or what.
