    Just got a new Benz. Which Rims or Tint look best??

    I just got a new Benz. The car is Silver and the interior is a dark grey. The rims that came on it are pretty decent 19's. I think I'll have to put 20 or 21's on it. Dont want to go too big but a little wont hurt

    Also what do you guys think of going with silver tint? Have you seen that on a silver car before? Looks pretty cool but I dont want to look like a 16 y.o. either.

    Here is my other dilema... I'm really tempted to go with Black rims.

    What do you guys think? Post some pictures of some sick Benz's if you have some. Or if you guys know of any Benz chat boards or anything that I can check out some pics. I really cant buy rims based on a picture of the wheel. Not the same as seing it on a simular car.


    CyberAgeDave... Point me to a good shop in L.A. that does wheel work would ya?? I'm not too trusting of the ones out here in Riverside. Also I need to get a chip for this thing. It only does 155 now Found that out on the way home from the dealership And if you are seriously interested in my 360 I'm putting it up for sale this week.

          This is funny, I have been away all weekend, I just logged on and this is the first thread I see.

          Don't buy anything until you talk to me. I'll set you up tomorrow.

          Congrats on the new Buy, I knew sooner or later you would end up with one.

              I think you are on the right track with the silver tinted rims. It would be a classy looking move and still not distract from the car itself. A Benz isnt something you need to pimp out I dont think... its has its own "pimp" statis. ;)

                  First question. I think you said the car is silver... if the car is silver, go with chrome rims. If the car is black. Go with black rims. Just my

                              Why did I even ask, I knew that was coming.

                              I was going to say a 230 Kompressor isn't really your style.

                                            It really just depends.. I have been wanting to put black rims on something for awhile. I have some on my truck and it looks killer.. But the truck is a dark dark grey. Being that the benz is a lighter color I'm wondering. But what I would get would be black spokes but the ring is actually chrome still.

                                            Not sure.. I need pics for ideas.

                                            My M5 is being shipped to No. Cal this next week to Dinan for a supercharger to make is 650 ponies. That car is also getting black rims at the same time. But its a black car

                                              Oh right, and to the question asked. Silver rims black tint. I am not a fan of black rims on a silver car. If the car was black, a jet black rim COULD look okay depending on what it was.
                                              But for a silver car, stick with a silver/chrome rim and a black tint.

                                              Dang. My buddy has an M5 with black rims and it looks.. well alright. He needed a diff style.

                                                  Those are the same rims that came on my car. I dont like them.. They are ok but nothing special. The spokes are like a dark grey..

                                                      Also black tint.

                                                      I know, but the stock rims look the best in my opinion, I have seen some others with silver and other black variations, cheapens the car in my opinion.

                                                          Silver tint looks horrible no matter what car it's on... I'm not a big fan of black limo tint either. 50% all around is subtle and looks nice on most cars

                                                          What's wrong with silver wheels? Chrome is gaudy and black/gunmetal is too often mistaken for steelies from a distance.

Remember to call up the guy who built your engine and tell him if it breaks you are flying out to kick his ass. Beautiful car, enjoy it Mike! Thankfully you don't live in the Tri-State or those rims would last about a month, and you'd have to wait 4 months to drive her.

                                                                Yea, I totally agree with you on that money to speed ratios. I was dissapointed myself. But I had to get the biggest baddest one. If not I'll regret it later when they come out with something better I'll be even further behind. But to stick with your theory rather then buy a new M5 this summer Im keeping my old one with 470 horses and sending it to Dinan to put it 650. Now that I dont need it as a cruiser I might as well gut it and put in roll bars now... lol

Yesterday I had a flat, unfortunately unrepairable, 600 bucks later I got to leave the shop with a new tire, I had no idea bmw tires were so pricey.

Yesterday I had a flat, unfortunately unrepairable, 600 bucks later I got to leave the shop with a new tire, I had no idea bmw tires were so pricey.

                                                                                Oh yea... I'll definately post about it and maybe make a quick little video


                                                                                I can't wait.. they said they need it for 2 months though.

                                                                                My car is already a Dinan S2 they say 470-500 hp and 4.1 0-60
                                                                                Dinan has done one test car and there is one car ahead of me on the production line. There is a number of things I had to get in order for them to do the supercharger. The super charger alone puts the car up to 630hp, and I'm adding cams to make it about 660hp

                                                                                I'm getting on the M5:

That car was a straight blackout. Black tint, black rims, black paint... but it was very hot. Everytime I have seen black rims on any car that wasn't black it just looked ordinary.

                                                                                    If you have silver tint chrome rims make your car just shine.

                                                                                    Do it.

Start out with a nice single engine Piper and experience the saturday $100 hamburger. Thats where you pick an airport, fly to it for lunch, then fly back. Costs about $100 by the time you've paid for fuel and lunch. Sure is alot of fun though.

                                                                                                  You meet really neat, usualy well off people who own nice planes and sports cars themselves. There is always someone richer with more toys....

                                                                                                    Always Chrome.........

                                                                                                    Either way im sure its a sweet ride.

                                                                                                    Get the Chrome....

                                                                                                    Unless you got so much chrome already and you are just bored of it.

                                                                                                    But the black makes the ride more conservative in my opinion.
                                                                                                    Nice, but chrome always has that flash effect.
