Wheel advice

Hey there,

Considering moving away from the stock wheels and I'm hoping for some input from those who have done it on their GL450 -- What size did you go with? Silver or black with the palladium silver metallic paint?

Did you paint your calipers? Color matched, red, or ..??

Wish my posts were as creative as black06c230, but not at his level yet... lol

Day after I got my ride I had the front windows tinted 50% and had 20% put onto the windshield, but that's that so far.
I really like the look of what black06 did blacking out the window trim, grill, and lower bumper chromes.

I posted pics of it the other day. Just look under my previous posts.


They are for sale also, with Blizzak tires. Truck goes back on lease later this month.

Thanks man, those wheels look slick -- Notice any speedo difference between 19" and 20"? Think there would be going up to 21"?

Ahahaha thanks for the compliments. Let me know if I can help at all. I need to update that thread with a few new additions and the tune done by Tony at RaceIQ.

I do still need to do calipers in red and the headlight mods I talked about.
