New wheels look
I have been looking for 507 wheels that is too expensive, I don't want to working on Sunday for that. So, I found another way........
I was asking some shop that just rip of. That was really easy after I watched video on youtube, I decided to do that by myself.
Total cost $100 and 4 hours, shouldn't take that long time but I doing careful, My friend's M3 spent 30 mins to finish that.
Sorry about my English!

OMG, sorry to say this... but all the time you took to tape the rotors & the car, you could have just removed the wheels off your car 1 at the time. LOL
Looks good, but I'm sure it's not as durable as the 507 wheels.

six months after, it was worse that original because it chipped away, Hmm, why was there all these black spots on the grill, wheels, etc. worse that stock. sometimes being cheap shows in the long run.
there's a difference between having a short term satisfaction of a good look, vs doing it right and having a long term impression. there's a reason why powder coating works better than having a body shop paint wheels, eventually it will chip away not only the paint but your reputation. I wouldn't recommend this because you drive a Mercedes, not a used civic.

reminds me of the excitement I had when I was in high school and discovered "chrome" spray paint. Back then chrome was the in thing, so I painted everything from my grill, my hub caps, muffler, wipers, and emblems.
