So the wheels on my E550 had lots of curb rash. They had a machined face and were painted silver everywhere else. It took them to have them refinished and decided to have the painted area a darker grey (Powder coated with "Cadillac Grey" from Prismatic Powder). I think they turned out really well, and are an improvement.
While they were getting refinished I put a spare set of E63 wheels/tires on which worked fine. The fronts were nearly flush with the fender, and really filled in the wheel well nicely. These looked so good.
Those look fantastic!
I had done similar a few years ago - I liked the stock rims but not the color. I had them all checked/straightened/powdercoated with something call Hyper Chrome, sort of a black chrome. About the same price too. Also changed out to the black version centercaps.
IMO refinishing is a great way to improve appearance without breaking the bank.
Looks good and with straightening included the price is great.
My local repair shop starting repairs quotes at $150.
Those Czech-made wheels seem to have lot of troubles.

Looks great! sort of like the 2014 wheels with the gray insert, but a bit darker. I would love to do this if I could find somewhere capable. I've been searching for a set of 2014 550 wheels in a square setup for a while, but I don't want to pay 2 grand for bare wheels. I'm assuming they did the diamond cut process on the face. I wouldn't even know where to look for a shop that could do this work.
