Nice wheels, I actually like the design and they look very sporty on the SLK55. You should defenatley tint the car lightly as it will improve the overall look and even play a role in cutting heat entering the car and other Uv rays.

Tint is deff the first thing I'm having done when I get back I just didn't feel like throwing more money into the car (even though its only a couple hundred dollars) while she was sitting there in CA.

question about black wheels - do you notice the dirt on them like you notice dirt on a black car? i'm thinking about getting a set because i'm tired of cleaning brake dust.

I personally think you notice the brake dust less then on the stock wheels plus these wheels are so much freaking easier to clean i was like breaking my back and knees cleaning all those spokes

CJ, nice combination. Was actually thinking of getting black rims with polish lip before buying the Brabus. Next mod, lower. Hope to get mine lower by the end of this year or early next year. BTW, have a friend who own a tint shop place in V-Town, they did all my cars....They do excellent job. If you're interested, let me know. RC
