Painted Black 22" twin Spoke Wheels

HI Guys,

Firstly I have just purchased my first Mercedes an Obsidian Black / Macciato Beige 2021 GLE450 AMG sport night pack with 22 inch wheels and a number of other options.
Build Date march 31st compliance in Australia June 21.
I live in Melbourne Vic, Australi but picked up the car in QLD as it was the only one available with the options I wanted in the country.
I picked in up from the Dealership with 5 klms on it and drove it home 1,871 klms.
The car drove absolutely amazing.
I came from a 2018 RR Velar HSE R-dynamic previous car Cayenne GTS and Audi Q7.
The Benz is the most refined, quiet and comfortable drive i have ever experienced and the drive back home was flawless, except for trying to wrestle the burmester to get a good sound out of it.

Just love this car.

Anyways reason for my post.

I want to murder out my Benz and thinking of painting my AMG 22 inch rims gloss black and powdercoating my steps black.
Has anyone else painted their AMG 22" twin spoke wheels Gloss Black?
Would love to see some photos?

Thanks for a great forum.

I'm not a fan of that look, but that doesn't matter. Here is a "murdered out" one with 23s: https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...ic-coated.html

Thanks so much Greg, appreciate your response, and the link.
I have had that "murdered out' look on my last 3 cars and become accustomed to it, and yes I understand it is not for everyone, but love the fact you provided a response that is valuable and in line with my question.

Kudos to you.

Kindest regards
