Black on Black
I have a black 2011 GLK with AMG package and i've been thinking about changing my rims to black ones but i really love how it looks now, i'm thinking about maybe painting it black or wrapping it with a black matte sticker, any thoughts or suggestions? Or maybe pics of someone with a GLK on black rims?
Thank you.

You can try Plasti dipping your wheels. If you dont like the way it turns out, you can always peel it off. I just finished my wheels.

You can see what finish my rims were on my profile album.
Here is after a few coats of Plastidip (no clear coat)



This is the only picture I have of my car with them on so far (with clear coat)



I have heard nothing but good things about this product.

Thank you.
Have your current wheels black anodized but then have the outer rim polished and clear coated! Sweet!
