Hi guys own a 2015 C250 CDI AMG sport have you guys got them sprayed if so let's see!

Can't make out your wheels too well from your avatar. Can you post a bigger photo of them?

FWIW, unless a black wheel has a silver lip they don't look right to me.

Here's a couple of pictures of two of my ex cars, now sadly moved on but both with satin black wheels: -

OK, they're both E Class but a wheel's a wheel.

As you can see, both are like a satin/matt black and both have a diamond cut edge to them which I feel sets them off as suggested by @AMGeed earlier.

Interestingly, on my current car, even though it has the night pack, I went for the silver (Himalayan Grey) wheels with diamond cut faces as I was finding the black ones a pain to clean, basically whatever I used started to produce a gloss which I didn't want.

If I were you I'd be staying with the silver, possibly going a couple of shades darker if they actually need re-finishing?

They look . Yeah the wheels are okay I just think think could look better as in the colour. I want a contrast hence satin black lip does set it off. I like cleaning that's why I chose a white car so that's not a issue but I feel they look better in satin black! Thanks for photos.

There may of course be exceptions to the silver rim thing...
