Black 22" Wheels on a GL

Okay, first off, let me say, I have never been a fan of black wheels and I am still not convinced they are the best choice on a car. So any negative comments won't really bother me. My rational for these wheels is that, I wanted to do something differant, especially for an SUV that blends so much and doesn't really have a unique look. My friends were calling me a rich soccer mom

(let it be known, I am a guy ) secondly, I am probably one of the only people on the planet with a black wheel GL! a lot of people outside of the Mercedes world, don't even know the GL exists yet. With that being said, I am pleased to give my GL a more original look. The wheels are Avarus AV2 (by Savini) 22". They also come in chrome for the bling blingers out there. and silver for those who want to blend.

Normally, I'm not a fan of black wheels either, but it does look good on your GL. Nice choice

Sweet ride, xecution. Did they have any other wheel styles in Black? Or was this the only style available?

They also have the AV3, And I think they are better looking, Sort of a twin spoke five star like the AMG. unfortunately I had already ordered the AV2 when I found them. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/avarus/avarus.jsp
