Smile 20" wheels on an ML55

Hey guys... what do you all think of the Brabus Monoblock 6 style of wheel? I am looking to upgrade to a 20" wheel and Im thinking either something like a MB 4 style painted black with a polished lip or now a MB6 painted black with a polished lip?

If you havent figured it out I am looking for a painted rim with a polished lip... Any recomendations you all have would be great thanks...

BTW...My ml is silver if no one looked at the sig.

I just got the very wheel you're asking about, but in silver with a polished lip. It looks fantastic. I got the car updated at a DUB shop in L.A. They put on 20" monoblock VI's, headrest monitors, DVD player, PS2, Wood shifter/encasement, extra sub, chrome exaust tip, custom formed running boards (lo-profile, so as to not stick out further than the wheels) and a coupla DUB badges. Looks pretty cool for a non-braubus/AMG/Lorinser mod KIT. It's my wife's family car (3 kids) so I went the economy route. I saved all my pennies for my M5!

I'll post pictures as soon as I can. I'm still lookin for a NAV drive, though.

Its different... There are a lot of MLs in the area with 20, 22, and 1 with 24" Chrome wheels and various other wheels... I am prolly going to purchase them silver first and then Ill see what they look like and then maybe have them painted... you dont think itll look good?

I think the wheels look good. Sorry for the OT reply but what's on the back of the truck? Is that an MB accessory spare holder or third-party? I've seen it several times in pictures but can't find it mentioned anywhere.

2000 ML55/Kleeman Headers
JUst put 20's on my truck

and the BAS ESP light came on. I used twenty mm ICHIBA spacers (cause I wanted these rims on the truck). Is it the spacers or the upgrade to 265/50/20. Any solutions?
