I must disagree. They don't look all that good IMO...Should've got some nice gunmetal color rims...

Thanks for all the replies guys. To answer some of your questions. About keeping them clean, you guys have no idea. Its a real pain in the butt. But when they are clean, I love the way it looks. I clean my car every Friday in time for the weekend. I polish the lips about once a month. The pictures were right after a wash and polishing the lips. Maybe my next upgrade WILL be nice big RED Brembos. It doesn't sound like a bad idea. About my suspension, I'm using H&R springs. I'm not to fond of the drop in the front so I might be looking into some coilovers real soon. About the amber side markers, I spoke to I forgot who about ordering some euro impact strips but the person never got back to me. I'm actually looking into reordering them again. I chose the color combination b/c I wanted something classy, sporty, and unique. My friend Alex had a white NSX on white HRE's and I loved it. When I decided to get the Mercedes, I knew that I wanted it white as well w/ white HRE's. I actually ordered the HRE's before I got the car. I knew some people wouldn't like them but honestly, I love the way it looks. I get compliments all the time here around town. Any other suggestions?

About the strips: either Harris or MBenzNL will help you out - they're both members here.

Have you tried wax on the wheels? That cuts down on dust; Tirerack sells one company's. Also might want to try pads that dust less.

Thanks guys. I'm happy that all you guys had the time to give your opinions. There are a couple of things I still want to do to the car. I want to drop the front a little bit more. I'm considering cutting a coil in the front but what I really want to do is buy the coilovers for my car. I also want to put the C32 kit on it (or the 2005 sport kit). I am also looking into the impact strips for my car and maybe a trunk lip. The last thing I want to do to it is put a little system in it. Nothing big. I want to keep my stock radio on b/c I don't want to lose the look that I have. Again, thanks for all your replies. Any other suggestions will still be observed and taken into account. Thanks guys. Oh, and I can't forget the big RED Brembos.

I really like them, they look great, im sure they are hard to keep clean, my best friend has white ones on his Cooper and they get dirty easy.
