Not feeling the black w/ polished lip. Actually, the monoblocks don't look that bad..

I like your wheels, maybe paint the centers black. I would either smoke or colormatch your sidemarkers as well.

I will be ordering black sidemarkers soon.

I am on a fence between color-matching wheels and going gun metal.
Or you thinking only do the center, or you are saying just get these:

Damn I always loved the Lorinser LM 6 (2piece) / RS 8, one of my favorite MB wheels.

Do they have any reps of those that are just silver?

Someone should PChop the ebay wheels on to your car

Silver looks like these:

Agree, this is the only wheel I found that I like more the the stock AMG "Stars"

But if going from silver starts to silver twisted spokes, Is it really worth extra $$ for new rims ?

You do have a point, it's all a matter if you want the upgrade. Both colors really look good.

Actualy there is one more design that I like, but I think it's too big for the SLK

I have peeling clearcoat - so I need to get the stock rims repainted anyway. So that makes new rims less expensive.

Kirill · 03-26-2008, 04:13 PM

But for the second design - there should be Left and Right rims - or it wouldn't look right.

But apparently it's not that way:

Kirill · 03-26-2008, 04:15 PM

I wounder if the Lorinser includes left and right rims.
