i recently bought a set of original S65 rims but unfortionatly it came already repainted with shinny metalic grey but when i checked the pictures of the original s65 rimes it looks like its satten grey color with blownish tent. unfortunatly i never saw those rims in real life with the original paint so my referance is only the online pictures .. i was wondering if someone have the paint color code or even can descripe it in words or even confirm if my description is correct or no
thanks
The S65 wheels are a color usually called anthracite, a metal-flake dark gray. I’ve seen the Mercedes color called “titanium”, that’s what the wheel shop called it when they were matching another set of my wheels.
How dark or light they look depends on the viewing angle.
The same 19” 2-piece wheels can also be found in a standard silver as an option on the S55, so maybe that’s what you saw.

thanks for your reply , it seams that you have quite a collection
i saw the silver wheels that you are talking about before but its not the one i got . the one i just recently bought is similar to the pictures u sent , but i cant tell from your picture if the grey color is glossy grey or satin grey.
here is a picture of my set
Of course you see the problem. By now, they've all been redone by someone who didn't bother to get the color right. FWIW, I think the Sterling Silver look better anyway, for most cars. But people want to illustrate their car as the V12, so this problem naturally emerges.

maw
thanks for the link to the thread , i know about the color difference between the staggered 19''s wheels for the S55 and the S65 . i read the thread in the link you shared but it doesn't quite provide the information i seek. nether the color code nor if the color is satin grey or shiny grey ( the titanium grey )

I'm thinking that's the touchup paint manufacturer's code so they know it matches Mercedes 494. Mercedes is probably OEM number 8 they support or something silly like that.
