Wheel Color Advice!
Guys, recently purchased this set of mono IV's from a board member
https://mbworld.org/forums/wheels-ti...-19x9-5-a.html My car is a white/pano Brabus E class. I just can't figure out what color I want to go with. Frankly I wish it was the original brushed finished but that can no longer be done due to the amount of times its been painted/powdercoated. If you have any other ideas for paint I'm open for suggestions, I'd like to make this decision asap so help me out! Thanks much, looking forward to your suggestions and input.

Is the guy selling them to you going to paint them for you? If not, I would try the gun metal for a week and see how that looks. But I personally say paint the face glossy black and paint the inner/outer lip white

Honestly, gunmetal is my favorite color on rims. My favorite rims are the 06 CL65/SL65/S65 19" 2-piece AMG rims with the gunmetal. I would love a set of those (non-staggered though). I say stick with the gunmetal, it looks beautiful, and I don't like black, think it's too much, gunmetal is just right. Congrats

Go Silver - Closest to Machined Finished as you will get
If you wanted a machined finish, but can't anymore, I'd go silver. I'm not a big fan of dark colored wheels, I think they distract too much from the beauty of the car. Is the focus the overall look of the car, or just the wheels? I feel everything needs to blend in together and look seamless.
OBTW, will you be selling your stock wheels?

just found that I posted this too late. They are going to be black. Silver was actually more because more work was involved to get them to that color. Anyhow, thanks for the input I hope black works out. I don't think it'll ruin it but I guess I'm a bit dissapointed as I've taken painstaking measures to keep the integrity and authenticity in this car but I don't think its too far off. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Also, I'm going to hang on to the stockers for the time being. Thanks guys
