Did you paint your grill or did you have it wrapped. I like the look of the wheels. That might have to be my winter set up. I have not lowered mine yet. How the process witht he links vs spendeing 1200 bucks for the renntech?

I agree with you guys on the looks of the stock chrome wheels on the E55, it looks guady and seriously take some class out of the look of the car.

Love it! Did that on my C-230 due to the fact that they were 17's. All black makes them blend in so they don't look so small. imo.

The black wheels make the silver calipers stand out more, which is also a plus.

thanks guys. I did paint the grill myself with the exact same paint and it turned out great. The wheels have transformed over the last week since they have gotten time to sit in the sun and cure. They have gotten way more matte, in these pics they almost look like gloss. I will take some new pics once I get my wrap, diffuser and window tint done.
