I think that this is a good indication of what the colour looks like.

MBWorld Fanatic!
IIRC, forged AMG wheels on SLS (or CL) are ~2.5lbs lighter per wheel than std (and perhaps stronger vs imperfect public rds)
Have heard CCB on SLS are notoriously squeaky for daily commute use (more squeaky than PCCB or CCM in similar duty)....though SLS ContiSC5 tires and CCB (and AutoBrakeDrying) are far more adept in wet weather driving/pedal feel/braking dists than tires/ceramics from VW or Fiat on their alleged latest/greatest perf cars for public rds like GT2RS or 599GTO

last minute color change. PCNA did not give us any notice but locked the order. i think we missed by a day maybe. i'm requesting a change to see what happens. if they don't approve it, i don't need the car. 
back to Alubeam, as much as i like the color, i want to think it's just the right shade of silver i love, but turn out to be not. u really can't decide color based on pictures. however, if u've seen it in person & u love it, that's all it takes for u to go for it. i'm sure it'll look great in bright sun light, but it didn't do it for me in the gloomy day when i saw it, too much champagne for it. u can't go wrong with it. just have to be in love with it.
although i don't suggest u to look at the pics anymore, here're some pics i took of it.
