Welcome to MBWorld. That's a great looking color on the CL. Lorinser LM6 wheels are great looking wheels and one of the first turbine look. Personal preference really, but I wouldn't put chrome wheels on. I'd get them refinished if possible.

Nice ride! 20" looks great on CL. I'd suggest brushed silver or titanium over chrome.

Thank you all for welcoming me to the online MB community,and i want to start saying that all of you that have left a comment are absolutly right!,that is the reason why i started this thread.I wanted brushed LM6's,but i live in south america,Suriname where not only are there only 2 cl 600's in my country,but mine is the only Lorinser packaged one,so ure starting to get an idea how hard getting parts is.So finding LM6's here is a nono,let a long 20's.I was looking into LM6's but cant sem to find 20's.Thus came the decision to go the way of the available chrome ones.Yet i found myself to be sckeptical about putting chrome on my baby so i thought i'd call in ure help on making my decision what to do.
I am gratefull for and welcome any comments on what should be the best thing to do and where to seek help in doing so.

thanks in advance

If you have a refinishing shop down there, you can always just pick them up and strip the chrome. Then you can polish or power coat to whatever suits your personal style.
