As topic says. My is 250 has the color "Dark Blue Mica (8P8)"
When it is dark outside or just grey weather the car looks like it is almost black. However when the sun hits or under light you can see the blue color.
My problem is, I want to buy a set of wheels for the summer now 18" or 19" and do not know what colors my wheels should have. It is alot easier if you have a black/white/grey car.
But what suits a dark blue car? Can I go with black rims or will it look strange?
As the market in Sweden is very bad for wheels I have to order from the US.
Please refer to the pictures below for my car. You can also see in the last picture how hard it is to distinguish black and blue.

They call your color is Blue Onyx Pearl in the US.

Also, black wheels will make your car look bluer.

If you are going to tint the windows dark, I would say black wheels. Bronze would look sick with that dark blue, but there is so much silver on the car I feel it might not blend well, it might though!
