Chrome 19" Wheels for Gl320CDI

Anyone have any suggestions on what 19" wheel in Chrome would look good on a GL320CDI in Obsidian Black? Have ordered the Appearance package with 19" wheels but since I am now going with OB as the color, I feel chrome may look really good. I am not looking for bling...just a solid 19" wheel in chrome with a similar 55 profile...do not want a low profile tire, in fact would like to use the factory stock 275x55.

Any input appreciated...I know nothing about wheels specs...

That is an option but I have seen some posts about "flaking" which concerns me. I'll see what I can turn up and hope I find something I like.

I had aftermarket Chrome wheels on my Vette and it started to peel/flake in 3 years. Maybe MB Factory Chrome will be better quality.

Nevada Jack going for "Bling Bling".

I like it!
