i usually hate chrome, but it's because of the nasty designs it is usually associated with. with lesser spokes, chrome wheels look great to me.

Not bad for chrome. Got any close-up shots of just the wheels?

Thanks for the comments guys. This is all I have for closeups right now, it's literally just the wheels

Right when I was pulling out of the parking lot after having them installed a couple dudes in a c240 rolled up and they were pointing at my rims and nodding and stuff. Felt good to get instant confirmation that it was looking good.

i got chrome wheels also. i dk but if you do it right, it still looks phat on a benz. its those tacky chrome wheels that you buy off the side of the street by shea stadium along with purple a$$ tints ppl have thats what gives chrome a bad name... imo

cool wheels

I think this is what they look like:

That's where you went wrong... Try a baskball bat, as kirax2 has suggested!

Hahaha!

Well I just tried, no success. I'm not sure I did it right or I'm having trouble with English.
As expected the plastic is stubborn, no matter how much I work on it, It comes back to the original shape.
Just noticed also It only rub when turning the steering half a turn to 3/4 of turn. If I turn more, it clears until full lock. that's weird.

check the wheel/tire thread in this section. tire size will depend on the offset of the wheel. 235 should be fine in front, 265 or 255 on the rear- depending on your offset. shave your rear also- just for added clearance.

i would go with 255 I had 265's and they slightly rubbed. each tire brand has a different sidewall so u need to put that into consideration as well. but 255 will be fine
