Maya MRS Rims: Help me decide the best color please.

Hi,
I've decided to get 19" Maya MRS rims. I have a Pewter SL600. I would appreciate opinions on what color rims everyone thinks would look the best between chrome, diamond with black accent, or anthracite. I'm leaning toward the anthracite because it is different.

The rims can be seen here:

I think it would look great, especially over the black / chrome since you really do not have any black on your car to contrast with.

I also like chome on Pewter and silver cars but the Anthracite would look great as it also has chrome lips. I also suggest looking at the SL55 picture thread to get ideas as they have several Pewter SL's with great looking wheels.

Tough choice! The junior member says anthracite and the senior member says chrome. What do I do ? I really am split because I always intended to get chrome but I think the anthricite is so unique. Thank you both for the imput so far.

thanks for the Help anyway!

I went to a place called Tire And Wheel Choices (TWC) today to order the Maya MRS wheels and wimped out due to the price. They had a sweet looking set of AMG knock offs with a 3 inch lip in chrome that they produce and have in stock. The cost between the two was so significantly different and the weight of the TWC wheels was not much heavier that I decided to go with the TWC's instead. My only regret is that the width of the rear wheels only come in 9.5". I'll have to stick with 285's but the wheel does look great. Comes with chrome MB caps and is hupcentric so no spacers are needed. Wheel also comes ready for TPSM's. Not bad in my opinion. I think they look nicer then the ASA ST4's tire rack sells because they actually have a front and rear lip.

Wow!!!
The wheels do look awsome!!! You should consider the Maya MB caps. I would have loved to get these wheels but for $5000 I can get the TWC wheels and replace my mufflers with SL65's. I have a new baby girl due in the beginning of November so I need to compromise a little. I'll post pics when I get my wheels and you can tell me what you think. Still your wheels look amazing!!
