Wheel Decision Over!!! Pics Inside

Thanks for everyone's input on which wheel I should get. I ended up going with the Mono VI replica's. I found the one I wanted with the big lip in the back. I had my heart set on a black center wheel for my car which is why i chose this over the Mono S reps. Enough yappin, here are the pics

More mods to come even though they are making me broke
Should I tint my tail lights? If so, the red part or the white part ala AMG's?

If you're getting the S class-style tail lights, you could tint them like the new S class tails. This is just an idea that i got. Btw, good choice of wheels you got. Nice boil man!! Looks great!

Thanks bro...I would love to get the S class lights with the LED's but I don't want to because they only have ones that fit the 05's and older. The wheels ended up being $100 cheaper than I told you

Is what painted white? If you are talking about the rivets they are i believe polished but they appear to look chrome

Modding list in no particular order

1) tinted tail lights (still unsure)
2) quad exhaust
3) amg or amg rep trunk spoiler
4) tint (still unsure about this one)
5) alcantra/suede headliner in black
6) lower it on tein basics

also i would tint the white part.....i like the red in the rear, it sets it off

nice, now get a brabus replica centercap, it's silver at the center, so it looks even better with black center wheels.

No prob..that's great getting them cheaper..
Isn't yours an '05? The S class lights are compatible with all W203s except the '04s and newer which needs some rewiring. Btw, don't buy the LED ones because they are problematic (some of the LEDs do not light up).

Its an 06. I think if i tint the lights i am going to tint just the white part. I too like the red.


nice, now get a brabus replica centercap, it's silver at the center, so it looks even better with black center wheels.
I would but i dont want to be a poser about this. I know they arn't real brabus wheels and therefore they do not deserve brabus center caps. I was thinking of painting the stock center caps. Having only the star black and keep the rest silver to set off the center caps.

PM me and i will give you all the info

looks clean

i would have high polished the lips before putting them on but oh well....

I want them high polished as well. What do i need to do to get them high polished?

Frank, can you post some pics. I remember you tinted the white part and it looked great! Also where did you get it done or did you DIY?
