Any ideas on 20" rims?

I will be lowering my car on Monday. Any ideas/suggestions on 20" rims? I am not a big fan of chrome rims. Polished/Chrome lips are fine, but I do not prefer a chrome face. It seems that many 20" rims come chrome. Help would be appreciated on a 20" rim with silver face. Thanks.

Lightbulb A not so bright idea.

"Any ideas." Make sure you have reviewed the posts regarding the class action lawsuit based on oversized tires on Mercedes vehicles. Sounds like the only reasonable basis for adding 20 inchers would be if you are going to be showing the vehicle rather than driving it. Just my "idea" though.

Check this out.

Perhaps these wheels may appeal to you.

Bling-bling!

For a brilliant silver car, I would go for a brabus wheel in silver finish. The silver finish on a Brabus wheel is IMMACULATE and matches the brilliant silver on the car almost exactly.

sf49ers, jl88; I do like the brabus wheels a lot. i've actually been looking at the VI like yours, sf. where to get the best price? do u
know how wide the lip is on the rear rim (20x9.5 or 20x10)?

benggolf: haha. u're funny. exactly what i'm NOT looking to do.

Anyone know if the AMG CL rim comes in a 20? Or similar?

When I got my brabus monoblock 6's, they only had 20x9.5. However, Brabus now makes 20x9 and 20x10. I believe the lip on the 20x10 is about 2 inches, which isn't too bad.

I'll pm with the shop I got the wheels from. It's in LA, but you could make a road trip and get them mounted heh
