I'm thinking white face replica AMG wheels on such a classy car would not be a good move, but that's just my opinion.

i see what ur sayin, yea, i guess those would be cool that way, but i just think it needs a lil bit more rim, a staggered look, and thats why i wanna try and get a nice set of 20's


what would you guys put on it? i definatly wanna go white wheels, if not that, brushed and of course staggerd


<big>onecoolloser</big> Much apreciated, thanks

In my personal opinion, white rims would downgrade the look of the car, although I don't fault you for trying to be unique, because it would be different...like everyone says, take your time buying a set of wheels, and find the right ones...good luck

no, chrome rims would downgrade the look, chrome on white is like chrome on silver, gawdey... but white on white is more of a subtle look that i like. just cant seem to find a good pic to show u how it would look

Well I didn't say anything or even recommend chrome, I was just trying to help, but thanks for basically saying my car looks "cheaply showy in a tasteless way"

i appologize for comming of that way, i just think chrome shouldn't be the only answer for every car. i guess its my fault, i'm basing this assumption on my friends CLK, he has a 2002 clk and its silver with some 19 inch chrome rims, on his car, its like saying its allllll silver, no seperation of car and rims. i'm sure people like you and others on here who take the time and make it different will have a much better and classier looking car. what i'm getting at is that a plain silver car with alot of chrome on it is horrible. if that car had some tints, shaded tail's and debadging, then its a big differance



sorry for coming off too rude

sorry for the lack of knowledge, but why is the color of the edge of teh rim called a time attack?


also, think a set of black wheels with white lip will look good? like this?

Like I said earlier, I can't do color matched wheels or add brakes. Unless you want something else?
