pinstripped wheels (pics)

Hey guys. I've read people saying not to pinstripe a mercedes on here, but i decided to anyways. Heres some pictures of it. I've heard nothing but great comments on it from school, other MB drivers, and a paint specialist at the MB dealer. Tell me what you guys think.

need to see full car, but generally, I prefer time attacks on coupes. I was considering it for my wheels as well though.

welcome to mbworld

First of all, I'm very happy that you are happy about the pinstripe and that you are getting positive feedback, but since you already knew we don't recommend it here be prepared to get some negative feedbacks from mbworld.

I personally don't like it, it looks off...sorry

I like the red pinstripe. Been thinking of getting these for Darth. My brother curbed both passenger side wheels when I let him test drive it before he purchased his C300.

you can always get it vinyl pinstriped first to see if you like instead of dishing out for a paint job.

Sorry! Not a fan, but what counts is that you like it, its your car.. I think on black wheels it would look good!

w204 - 350 N other white cars
i think it looks decent cause u got a black car so red on black or white car will match well most of the time... now, all u need is to have your caliper painted red or go for some red brembo brake and those red strips is really going to look nice.. just my taste n 3 cent
