Wheels Wheels Wheels. Which would you run?
I hate spacing mods out for my cars over time. I'm impatient haha. Wheels are next on the list, more than likely next month. I'm stuck between two, so I figure let's confuse me more, and get everyones opinion haha.
Side note: Car is black.
Both are going to be 18's.....
If I run these, they will stay silver
If I get these, more than likely they'll be all black.

I like the silver and not a fan of black rims, perhaps it is because when we run our cars in the winter we have to use winter tires and they are mounted on black steelies and they look like you are missing hubcaps.
To me black rims look too heavy and look low rent

"annoyance" and "self-righteousness", amoung others...
those black wheels would look sinsiter. make sure you can get an offset/spacer combo that is reasonable though.
otherwise, those amg style wheels w/ the rivets do make my loins quiver.

I like the silver ones.keeps the car looking original.the black ones would get lost on all black car.maybe if they had a chrome lip on them yeah.btw where can I order the silver ones wit a lip like that.I have the tsw bremmas which look like those but I can't seem to find the rears wit the staggered lip.

I feel like the black rims are too spaced out, and would cause the smaller brake caliper effect..
Mesh wheels on our stock brakes look good because it hides the gaps
Just my .02 cents

Anyone know of any Rep companies that make something that looks identical to this, but with an offset that will work on the W203? The W204 AMG reps are ET43, that's obviously not going to work. Haven't seen too many W203's with this style.

not sure if youd prefer these, but the offset is a little closer to one you could run.

Thanks for the ebay link, im checking if the seller can get me a full set staggered. those wheels are SICK
ebay should have a good amount of them. i think theres some sl turbine reps that you can find online

I think black contrasts well on a white car but i agree that it would get lost in a black car and it just wouldnt stand out enough. if you like the style of those silver ones, check out these:
