Opinion needed
Which of these two stock wheels looks best? Mine is the one with the painted ones but the car is the same color on both pictures.
Mine needs to be refinished but maybe I should just get them polished??
-and yeah, blatantly stole the pic from another thread...

I'm very biased toward the SL AMG wheels over virtually any other wheels. In fact if they are OEM and you're planning to sell them I'd be interested.
The 2nd picture makes your SL look lower (better) but I'm assuming that's due to picture angles and lighting.

Both sets are OEM original rims. The ones I have now are not black but rather gray, similar to the car itself. The lib is aluminium and the spokes are gray.

I prefer the second picture but it really is personal preference they both look great. I have an after market set of the silver on my silver S Class and like the way they look.

i would use plastidip on them that way whatever color you change them to you can easily revert back by peeling it back off in the future.
