Ideas on Black wheels ?
I saw this "AMG" ...I don't like the style of the wheel, but I think I like the matte black finish. Kinda stealth.
Anyone know of wheels that are available in a finish like this?

its supposed to be spy photos of the GL AMG.. look close.
I like the black wheels, i could buy factory AMG 21's and have them powdercoated I guess. How trick would that be? any chop experts looking for something to do? lol

It looks like a Premier Edition or perhaps a GL500 EU model with a few mods, like the exhaust. However, there is no chrome rear bumper sill guard so it just may be a GL450. Remember in EU ALL options are on the table when ordering.

and there's something different about the front scoop under the license plate. can't quite make it out. and those are cross-drilled rotors for sure, but don't look any larger than on mine. Can't see the front.

This looks like a PE GL. Did they have those in Europe? Look at the steering wheel in the second picture. Looks like the bright birds-eye maple wood on the PE models.
Those are Lorinser wheels however. Those look like cross drilled brakes too. Maybe Brembo?

However, I'm not opposed to a GL AMG.

and to stir it up even more, i think thats an intercooler behind that plate...
either way, I think I'm gonna get a set of rims (not those) and powdercoat them a flat/dull black. I don't think anyone sells a set thats flat. I've found gloss, but not flat. I'll have to do it myself I guess.

Take a look at Vellano or Maya(Dazz) or Forgiato wheels. You can get a flat black center or full flat black. I work at a wheel shop and I can tell you the quality of these wheels are top notch especially Vellano. Flat black center with gloss black lip looks super cool. Just a thought.
