So on my new GLK... I wanted to see what the factory 20"s look like powder coated black. Anyone able/willing to do that for me? I have a black on black GLK. Thanks.

Appearance Package 20" wheels? Or AMG Package 20" wheels?
Either way I am not a fan of the ALL BLACK look. Especially black wheels. Unless you had whitewall tires. That might look ok. But I don't think so.

I'm almost positive that I don't want to go aftermarket. Some vehicles look good with aftermarket... Porsche/BMW, but Im not sure MB fits that category. Plus it's the wife's... She wouldn't want too much.
