Your wheels look weird. No real good shots either to really see the paintwork.

I like the blue...as stated from the other members I think blacked out wheels on this ride doesn't give the blue it's due. I seem drawn to the black wheels more...

Plus I think blacked out wheels seem played out and that's coming from someone who had a murdered car.

You might considered a more aggressive offset or spacers to pull the wheels out more, too. But at the end of the day if you are happy with it all our opinions don't mean squat.

I like the colour but the tyres look like they have too much profile or something. i agree that a st of staggered lipped wheels in brushed silver would makes this perfect. Blue is to classy for those black wheels

The rims were sliver actually, do you mean the rims should be silver? or I should clean the rubber tires?

I will order wheel spacers soon

I'm glad you liked the color, and yes I like it, at least there are no SL500 with AMG body kits, having the same color :P

Yes, silver rims. The color is great but the black rims do it no justice. That said, it's all about what you like.

Think about polished lips with machined faces...it'll give it a bit of textured look than full polished.

The paint looks nice...

In the pix. No offense intended, but as long as those wheels and tires are on there, you're just wasting time. Not only does the black not work, but the main problem is that that the diameter is just too small, and your aspect ratios on you tires are way off. Good news is that's an easy fix...

I agree with most everyone's comments...Color is awesome, but the "balloon" tires take away from the effect...Ballsy move with paint instead of wrap...especially on an AMG car...Get rid of the 15" wheels and 75mm sidewall and all will be well...
