hey guys! need some help deciding whether to keep the yellow ring or not. bought a set of brabus VI on the classifieds. he got 'em painted semi gloss black w/ yellow stripe kinda time attack style. here's a link on his car:

https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c...ick-rocks.html

the easy/cheap way is to keep 'em, just paint my calipers yellow w/c is currently red. Or spend $200.-300.00 to get em painted, but the rims are in good shape...any comments/suggestions will be appreciated.

Its unique. I definitely liked it on the W203, but I'm up in the air on the W202.

I'm not a big fan of painted rims, and think that the Monoblock's are the one and only anyhow for W202, but in this case it actually looks better on W202 then the W203!

thanks guys! it's growing on me as I look at it. also considering how much it's goin to cost me if i get it re-painted. at least $50.00/ rim since they have to match the color, pretty much paint the whole rim. I just got a set of Hankook V12's on 'em that's why i'm tight on the budget.

Monoblock means a 1 piece wheel, like the Forgestar F14 or HRE P40 wheels for example.
