Those are old school!
I think the picture of those Operas II's is deceiving. It looks like a polished lip in the photo, but the ones that I've seen have a flat, silver finished lip. The Opera III's have a polished, stepped lip.
Personally, I'd rather have the stock, w208 CLK55 wheels that are similar in design but will undoubtedly be a perfect color match on silver. I'd think that the OZ silver may vary slightly from your silver paint, and that difference will be noticeable on a full face wheel.

That's because there are opera 1 2 and 3. I think the three have a polished lip, dunno for sure. I'll be asking when I order.
This is another pic of them actually on the car. I messed up, these wheels were my second choice, not my main choice as indicated above.

STARTECH Monostar III
Disc design - one-piece -
8.5J x 18 silver polished or chrome-design
Possible tyres: 225/40 R 18 all around; 225/40 R 18 FA + 245/35 R 18 RA
My bad, the Opera was my second choice.
I want 19's (18's if I must) in silver finish, but the only set I can find are chrome in 20" http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20-Br...spagenameZWDVW
