Looks good but why does it look like the wheels were painted with the tires still on? Or is that just stuff on the tire?

sweet!! looks good im glad you took my advice. i have been wanting to do my calipers white on my lambo but they would get dirty way too quick. the only other color that would look good would be gold but that doesnt match cause everything on my car is black and white. what do you guys think?

The look that it will give is worth it, IMO. Come on man, you have a lambo... No cutting corners. That white would make that wheels POP!

looks good Kenny.

Paul, I had white Brembos that were expoxy coated white on a Saleen Mustang I had and the calipers turned a little yellow after a couple of thousand miles. Calipers really cook.

Kenny,

Glad you did what you wanted man! They look sick! One of the most unique, baddest looking CLS's I've seen

Well done man!

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Anyone think I should add green anywhere else? Any ideas?

I think the wheels could use something green. Maybe the star of the center cap or the ///AMG on the wheels

Make all chrome badges Black and window trim just doesnt look right and clear markers should be smoked and mirror signals just my 2 cents

car looks sick man
just get rid of the rest of the chrome around the mirrors
the ///AMG on the rims green would look great but dont do the center cap that would look odd

This is exactly what I was thinking. Lambo green the ///AMG on the wheels and it will give it just a bit more pop on the wheels.


Looks great overall, I like the Lambo Green on the black car (I think I'd like it with or without the black rims).
