I need pics of black MB with graphite/anthracite color wheels
I have an extra set of stock wheels for my wifes 98 C230 that I use in the winter only that the finish is a mess. I was thinking of stripping them and painting. Her car is black and I was wondering how the graphite color would look on a black car. Any one have any pics or can point me to some?

Why Paint?
Why Paint them. You can get them Powder Coated for a Reasonable Cost. I used to work at a tool and die shop and one of my friends had a powder coating company. He charged something like $30 a wheel. He said that he could do any color i wanted

I'm a DIY kind of guy. Don't have powder coating ability in my garage. I have repainted wheel for my other cars with great success.
Pics??

Times up! Decided to go with duplicolor aluminum. I bought some of the duplicolor alumnum and the clear wheel spray paint and did one of the wheels. Looks OK. A bit on the grey side. I just realized last night that I still had some of the Griots silver spray in a can. I just may sand the wheel i just painted and put the Griots on because the duplicolor looks a bit grey. Then again its the winter wheels so I may just pass on it. I was standing in the autozone and had the graphite in my hand because i couldn't find the silver but I put it back and eventually found where the silver was hidden.
