How's graphite 17" look on a silver IS? Any pics to post? I've heard the stock rims looks better? Thoughts?

Hey man! What's up? I presume you are the fellow owner of a little K? It's good to have someone else on this board that owns an SLK/C230K. Do you have any engine mods on yours?

I have a Silver with brushed rims(soon will be getting some 18")...but IMHO, it looks better. Chrome just does not look right with Silver. Sorry no pics.

Sorry Altezzer, it's just a name I've been using for LAN games and such at work. I've always thought it was a cool nick, and nobody ever uses it on internet gameing, so it works.

MobeIS300,

When you say Chrome, do you mean the stock 17"s?

 

[MobeIS300]

No...I meant the graphite polished 17"(they look chrome to me) if you elect to get that option. The stock 17" are brushed aluminums. Hope that clears a bit...

Thanks for the opinion. I think I might tend to agree.

After comparing the two, I dont' really think either looks bad. In which case, I think I'll save the $400 and spend it on tinting and stonegaurd. Thanks for the pics guys.

Rizzoach, you stole my car! JK, I have the Mill silver as well, except, I have the GS400 spoiler. I think the polished look the best! Soon to upgrade to some 18 HRE's, as soon as I close another big deal. Don't want to upset the wife too much. I did install the SRT intake. I do love that.
