My $250 wheels are mounted, along with my matte grill

I couldn't wait to wash the car, or for the better pics to be processed, so I took two quick shots with my camera phone. I plan on refinishing the wheels in matte black, myself. Any thoughts or opinions?





Also, ignore the cat prints. My g/f's cats love the **** out of my car.

Looks really nice man. I like the look of the wheels right now, very clean. Keep the wheels the way they are... Kill the cat immediately.

Where did you get the grill from? I have been trying everywhere to locate one exactly like yours and cannot find them anywhere?

I got one of the last ones. Maybe you can send the person a message and see if they have anymore available. Quick and easy to install, and fits oem.

I love the matte black look. Grill looks great and I say do it on the rims.

I've spoken to him and he is not getting in any more. Unfortunately, the one I got had a couple of blemishes, but I worked out an amicable solution with the seller.

More pics plz. I'm thinking of getting these rims from usarim.com. Are they the silver with gunmetal accent AMG reps? If so can you post a pics of the rim close up. Your car looks really nice. O by the way are those 18 or 19's? I might run spacers with those rims to match the fender as well.

Why are the front and rear wheels different from each other?

I'll post a close up pic tomorrow. 19s, and they fit pretty flush. Got them from a buddy, so not exactly sure which exact AMG reps they are.

Different center caps, that I JUST now noticed. They wheels are the same. Going with black caps when I paint the wheels.

Just resprayed mine to gloss black though to match the pano roof

If these wheels are your winter setup, then you should paint em.

Nah man, those wheels look different to me. The front spokes are thicker, and more block(ish) and stop at the wheel's lip. The rear spokes are thinner and potrude past the lip, almost to the tire.

Look closer, you'll see what I'm talking about. Unless it's a complete optical illusion, but I doubt it, especially since the caps are different too.

Thanks. I bet yours does, too. Probably my summer setup until I sell my 20 DPEs.

it's an optical illusion. The center caps came from my stock 18" setup. Just noticed that they were different.
