slk55 wrap finished. Next - wheels?

[mikemacuk]

Hi guy's, had my R171 wrapped in gloss white by Customised Graphics who done a sterling job. The car was originally black.

I have the 16 spoke AMG wheels, was thinking getting them sprayed in a satin black with polished rim but from the sound of it the polished rim isn't possible. Or maybe a dark grey faded type finish would look good too.

Has anyone on here had their 16 spokes colour changed?

Below is the current look....

Car looks really good mate. Looks like they did a cracking job!

Thanks guys, I'm very happy with the finish, you wouldn't know it was wrapped. Will try and get more photos up.

So - black wheels? Matt? Gloss? Satin? Anthracite? Pink?

Very nice AMG.

I'd say Matt black, like mine.

Oooow they're nice, are they the original wheel's? Did the paint shop have any trouble doing the polished lip?

 

[BenzedUP]

Yep, Originals. Powder coated Matt black with diamond cut lip.

Wheel Specialist did mine with no issues.

And the big question is....How much?

I know I can't afford it otherwise I wouldn't ask!!

The Wheel Specialist did my C63 alloys, satin black with polished lip. The price was £600. Without the polished lip it was £300.

Will take some tmrw and post. Who ever did the wheels before did a good job as I hadn,t noticed that they had a painted "polished lip".
I had thought about a diamond cut lip, but thought £600 was already enough to pay.
They have done a great job though, and the satin black has a hint of metallic in it too.
