Here's a pic of my new wheels. Big thanks to William for sending me to Sander at Wheel Supply. They did an awesome job! Very clean shop and the mechanic/tech was top notch.

To each his own. Also probably easier to clean.

yeah, it turned out a bit darker than i wanted it, but it's not black. it looks darker in the picture and the asphalt reflection does not help.

i was going for something a shade lighter than gunmetal or anthracite, but a shade darker than my silver car. ended up with this medium metallic grey.

I think those wheels are badass!!!
I've always liked the dark color wheels...but they must have that silver polished rim to make it look good.
Congrats on the purchase...
btw, I notice you have a regular E class...what bodykit is that and what's your suspension setup?
Thanks

yes, it's an add-on kit. the front and rear are what they call 'valences'. you remove the lower most stock piece and replace it with the Brabus. the side skirts go over the originals.

any of the tuners bodykit will be over $2000-3000 (carlsson, lorinser)
