I wish i could say i like it but its not flowing at all on this car. This car is too classy (even for being an entry level Mercedes) too pull of something as crazy as this. With those wheels and the rest of your car, they would look best in a brushed finish with some spacers.

Ya, not too shabby. Just fix those center caps and tie the green in elsewhere.

I would also try to limit the other colors, i.e. silver, grey & chrome. Perhaps paint the grille black or color match to white.

good stuff man
I saw another member on here with a white C that had green eyelids and fogs, that would be a nice complement with the wheels.

It actually doesnt look that bad.. maybe try and give the car a more "sporty" look to go with the wheels, i would black out the grille, black out the fog light rings.

Still not feeling it. I second what xXHotelCrazyXx said about the car being too classy for this, even if it's a C Class.

I liked your previous wheels a lot better. Even that was a little loud for my taste (white wheels), but it came together well.

They kinda look like older model (early 2000) s-class rims... That, and ninja turtles come to mind when I look at those rims. I don't think they look "terrible". But I don't think it looks very good, perhaps if they didn't appear so out of place and you tied green in somwhere else it wouldn't be the worst. Green Lamin-X on foglights and/or headlights.

I think it would look better on an sti, evo, maybe a svt focus... it looks nicer on "rally" cars.


My initial reaction?

Good work on modding though, some would just get a set of 18" oem reps and call it a day. You're lucky you have the dough to spend on this stuffff......

Why green? If your going to stick w green, color match some other parts on the car as well.

Looks different. I wouldn't do it to my car but the important thing is that you like it. It's your car. Maybe add a thin green pinstripe on the side as accent. Just an idea.
