has anyone tried doing a light smoke / film tint for the front lights?

i wonder how that would look.

for me, its not a big deal for lower light output. im running 55w hids and they are krazy bright.

Looks good, I like the wheels. Wish I had a manual when I had my C230.

If you're looking for BiX, I have a set for sale.

I bought the wheels here in mbworld from another member, they were used and needed a new finish so I spent the money to make something different!

so, you guys think it will look better with just a straight line?
I was thinking the same, it looked good when I saw the stripes online, but after Installing it to the car, i wasnt completely sure if I was going to keep it

+1.. That strip is ugly it looks like your rims are trashed from a far..

it looks very weird.. and unless you ask the driver or get a close up, you can never figure out that its a pattern...

-1 on the lip. I can tell they're logos by the second pic, but still can't make out what does it say. probably look a lot better if there's only 1 instead of 4.

you should get the HRE red/white cap btw. better contrast instead of having that teal faded cap.
