Need everyone's opinion for the wheel color, black or silver





I tried to change my old 18" ugly stock wheel to the picture show above but I can't make a decision silver or black. Any input are welcome.

My GLC is white.

I like the black contrast myself with a white car.... silver looks too much like a stock wheel....

I'm partial to the contrasting look as that's what I want for my vehicle (selenite grey).

I have the contrast wheels on my selenite grey and really like them, I wouldn't have all black wheels as they would be a nightmare to repair.

Black would look great with your white car.

Black. Especially with white, the silver wheels look to bland.

It depends on body color. The wheels should contrast.

For me the Titanium multispoke wheel looks best. Unfortunately I can't have my GLC delivered with these wheels, because of the Night Package.

10/10 would go with Titanium or Silver.

Sidenote:
Does the "Night Package Black Rim limitation apply for your country? It could be only for Scandinavia, as all GLC's for this region is produced in Finland.

In the U.K. the night package only seems to come with the black rims option and the AMG 43 only seems to come with the black 21 inch rim option irrespective of whether the night package is selected or not. I've seen the 21 inch rims in titanium in photos on this site- USA cars I think. These look great in titanium.

I like the night package but not the black rims or black wing mirrors - prefer the titanium option (wheels) and body colour wing mirrors in every case- shame MB don't offer much flexibility. I've gone half night package myself by getting the front grille and rear bumper lower chrome strip on my car changed to the night package versions. The car is iridium silver so the remaining chrome doesn't stand out too much but may consider dechroming the window surrounds and front spoiler chrome strip if I can find a firm in central Scotland who can do this well for a reasonable cost.

Perhaps it might have been easier to select the night package option and swapped the wheels! (20 inch AMG) multi spoke but also prefer the chrome roof rails on my car!

If you like black wheels go black - when a bit dirty the diamond cut face doesn't stand out much.

To me me having black alloys seems a waste as you might as well be driving around on black steel space savers - as you don't really see the wheel design or size as it merges with the tyres. just my view/perspective though
