Some say its overdone, but I am having a hard time deciding if I want to get this done... I might have to buy some better matching centercaps though!

Nah, the thought of never washing the wheel is a little too appealing :burnout: .

Benny : Can you do some colors on the stock AMG wheels for me? I'm looking to either gunmetal or black the wheels out but leave the polished lips intact. Thanks.

I'm terrible with photoshop.

I'm kidding about the 20's. I like the look of the gunmetal. Looks real nice. It does take away from the clean classy look though.

I want gunmetal or black because of the heavy brake dust problem with the Benz's. My wheels are filthy!

Hahaha, no kidding, I was washing my car at your place and Kenny was washing his, I thought My car was bad when I washed in the wheels, but DAMN that was some black ass water commin from Kennys ride...prolly a pound of dust from all four wheels...:rofl:

Exactly my reason :) Hawk Blue's are just not your friend when it comes to brake dust.

I had mine painted to match the car and the lip and center was polished. I love them. At night they look like gun metal too.

Thats true, Brake dust is a huge hassle. I don't go to the track, so I can just imagine how bad it actually is on your wheels. I'm polishing mine almost once a week trying to keep them clean.

Black looks awesome on your car. :thumbsup: I wonder what white would look like though. :dunno:

white would be a bit too much. I like the idea of black wheels on a black car. Gun metal would be nicer on a white car than a black car IMO.

Kenny: go with the gun metal and leave the outer lip polished on the brabus.

Rage: go with the black wheels. Now your choice is going with a glossy black or a semi-gloss or flat black. On the AMG wheels, i would rather have the whole wheel painted rather than leaving the lip tho.
