What do you think if these (Hyper-Black) wheels?.....

First off, I dunno what hyper-black means, but it seems to be the new term for titanium or gun-metal grey.
My car is a dark grey color, I think the correct color name is Titanium.
Anyway in my never ending search to find a nice decent set of wheels that aren't too gawdy I came across these. I am a really big fan of large-lipped wheels. Even though the add doesn't state the size of the lip it looks to be of decent size to me. Does the offset seem correct?

Good price and nice looking wheel. I would go for it.

One thing be careful with the rims from ebay. I bought a set of 20" for my cadillac and cracked all of them.

I also found these on CL that came off of a w220, talked him down to $550 rims and tires. I was thinking of getting these temporarily, untll the perfect wheel comes up. Now that I look at those ebay wheels it seems like the color doesn't quite match up. I know these black wheels arent' a match either but for $550 w/ the MB logo on them seems like I should scoop em up just for the hell of it.

550? scoop them up and use as temps. 550 is near to nothing for a complete set, unless the tires are bald and the rims are torn up

LOL....yea I "Scooped them up" today on my lunch break. Two tires have low tread and will need replacing, but I figure I'll buy 4 new tires and roll these temporarily till I find what I really want then swap out the tires.
Will post pics soon, going to get them mounted now after leaving work

here are a couple pics. Not too bad for the money. IMO the black doesn't look that bad, kinda goes with the tented windows
Rims are staggered, and like the lip on the rear tire. However I do plan on getting some nice NEW rims later this year. These were just something to roll for the time being
