Angry Please stop putting Gawdy rims on your Benz!

Ive noticed a recent trend in people putting all these horrid rims on their nice luxury cars. And not that im an older generation complaining about the young, im in my mid-twenties. Your benz is not a honda civic...Please stop it with the chrome and the cheap japanese style rims! Its embarrassing. ::okay, rant over::

Anyone can do anything to their cars that they'd like. I don't see anything embarrassing about putting the rims you like on your car.

Cheap Japanese "style" wheels are definitely cheap. REAL Japanese wheels are definitely NOT cheap!

Definitely your choice what you want to DO with your car. Just like its my choice what i want to SAY about what you do with your car.
The funky rims are just not classy IMO. Im not all about keeping it stock either, I modified my rims as well I just laugh at some of these benz owners trying to compete with the "Ricer" next door and their honda civic by getting flashier wheels and putting stickers on their cars..or is that a new movement?
Its a classy car, so keep it classy.

I just find this statement ironic coming from a guy who classifies a can of spray paint a modification.

Couldn't agree more. Especially on a luxurious Mercedes-Benz.

+1 ... coming from the vwvortex fourms.. it seems people with money love to rice out their cars on this fourm. Big carbon fiber spoilers and lips that arn't color matched, along with cheesy ASA rims arn't clean. Common people. Keep it clean. Also "murdered out" was a nice little trend back in 05' but to each their own. Seems like its very popular on here along with 20' chrome rimz. And its pretty bad when your adding chrome fixtures around your rear or front headlights/taillights and calling that modification. Not to mention blacking out rear taillights or "tinting" out the car and calling that mods lol.

So far the only examples I've seen in this thread are ghetto blinged wheels, also define what you mean by Japanese style rims cuz most manufactures pretty much copy off each other nowandays.

Also adding this as a list of "mods"to the bottom of your profile is just funny to me... You also forgot to mention the vinyl roof wrap and the jdm stickers you have on the left rear window of your car to the list. lmao.
