C200K W204 Wheel Refurb

[J4MRU]

The car is booked in on the 16th of September and I need to decide on a finish before then. They are Diamond Cut just now, but I won't be going that route for refurb mainly because it won't last as long but also because its a lot more expensive.

I wanted a silvery chrome to 'recreate' they current look. But I am so unsure now. The wheels are AMG and I want to do them justice but I want the car to look good and make people turn their heads. It will be getting a full correction in the not so distant future to iron out a few imperfections.

What 'look' suits the car more from the image below?

The black wheels will turn the most heads as people will be saying WTF

Silver suits it better IMHO

IMHO the black looks ace and bang up to date but then I've only got a broken w163 so what would I really know

This is my dilemma as I kinda like the black vs red.

But I'm past doing daft things with cars and nowadays I prefer mint original cars.

I think I need bigger wheels actually, but that could get expensive!

The black loses the detail of the wheels, what about somewhere in the middle like a dark grey, so you can still see the design of the alloys, of it set on black, at least polish the rim to give the wheel some definition against the tyre

I think black looks a bit "drug dealerish"

I think the silver looks best, you can't see much
detail of the wheels in black.
