C300 Sport/Palladium Silver on Black/P2
It gives very much the appearance of someone's custom car. That is not bad at all. It may not be everyone's taste either.

I feel there is little difference between this look and many aftermarket looks. It's just a different look. I think it is a bit more surprising to see the color on a Mercedes, but on another car, I wouldn't think twice if I saw this.

I also loved that classic MB wheel. The color would still have to grow on me before I did it, but it immediately makes me think "someone's custom creation to their tastes." Good for them I guess!

nice rims, lI like those old style AMGers...looking forward to more pics to really get the whole picture of how the car looks...just curious, how old are you? Not trying to offend, I only ask because I cannot imagine anyone over 20ish??? would be so bold with a wheel color like that.

What the hell were you thinking?! Are you going to add green accents throughout the car? The reason it "works" on the GT3 is because there are green accents worked into the rest of the car...but slapping green rims on a white car???

You're car was def one of my favs...but IMO you just ruined it

I sure hope this doesn't degrade into a "You didn't earn the car. Mom'n'Pops are paying for everything, right?" thread.

As for the color, I would never personally go that route. You obviously know that by going with it, you'll definitely turn heads, so if that's what you're after, then that's all that matters.

IMO, a differnt MB color center cap would help "soften the blow". I think the blue & silver cap (that is blue, right?) is a bit much with the green, black & white color scheme. Just a thought.

forget the haters yo, I think its cool . a little old school with a new school taste. I always love it when the hate comes from people with close to near stock cars.
at least you haven't been called "rice" yet... Ive had that once or twice lmao.

^^ I agree a different center cap ftw

I'm going to have to agree with blue00r6.

It's funny how someone who disagrees is automatically a "hater". Who's hating here? The OP wanted to "know what you guys feel about them" and we gave our opinions. You don't have to have a modded car to know when something looks like crap.

Did you really think posting this would end up with a thread-full of praise? You have green wheels on a white car man. Don't make threads like this if you're not ready to take the critisicm.

never asked for any praise, just for honest opinions, i knew it was different and i knew i would get a lot of people who didnt like it.

And as for the i dont deserve this, you would be really stupid to assume that right of the back. I've been working since i was 13 and always saved my money and i pay for my car, not mommy and daddy. And everybody used to love and praise the car with white rims, so i cant have that bad of taste. I wanted to try something different and thtats what i did.

hope nobody thinks im getting hard feelings. Keep the opinions coming. remember this is just a teaser, save some of the bashing for when you see the whole car, lol
