White SL with Gun-Metal Dark Gray Wheel Centers?
I'm debating on either having my brabus painted gun metal gray like my porsche wheels in the center (and leave the lip alone) or getting some new wheels with this combination.. i think it may look kind of slick with the alabaster/white.. (i don't like the solid black look, chrome lip look that much..) anyone have any pictures of this on an SL, or a similar vehicle with this color combo? benz preferably? thnx

Edit: I will do it to your rims, unless you send me a picture of some rims you want on it (but the pictures can not be angled, has to be a profile view pic. Same for the car)

As a white car owner (although mine is only a C), I'd say definitely do it. One thing that you might want to be careful about is the rivets, which in IMO should stay chrome. So only the spokes get painted/powdercoated gunmetal gray. Just like the AMG 19" composite wheels on SL65 - polished lip, chrome rivets, gunmetal spokes.
