Chrome is too blingy for me too. Nice color though, I always wanted white. Welcome and happy modding!

Sorry for all those who said chrome looks bad, cause it looks good on white. These are German cars not Japanese rice cookers and black wheels would look cheesy on white . I would like to get the specs on those wheels. Size of wheels, brands, tire brand, and tire sizes. I am looking to do chrome on my mars red C320.

Thanks and happy Benzin!!

Now you are talking! Get rid of those horrible things. You could even fit Parktronic if you do that. I don't like chrome wheels but on a white car they really work & lift the vehicle's looks - Nice ride!
