My DSLR Noob Photoshoot with the [temporarily] Gold DPEs :)

My DSLR Noob Photoshoot with the [temporarily] Gold DPEs

the gold wheels on silver actually ended up lookin better than i thought it would...i actually really like it but i think im still stickin with my original plan of powdercoating them so everythin goes together better...

also...dont mind the front end...its all under a lota construction (i put the carlsson back on myself and was missing some screws, and put on the [fukd up] CF grille yesterday too...its ALL temporary for prob about 2 weeks....mayb the wheels a little longer since its growin on me in the gold...

wut u guys think?

Also, any photographers in here…im new to this SLR stuff….and btw nothings photoshopped (I suck with photoshop lol)

Happy owner of '98 CLK 320
Wow, tbh I really like that look too.
They look like great wheels for your car, that has got to be a keeper!

Regarding photoshop, I say: Atleast learn how to crop pictures, or learn to take pictures, where you'r car is not parked in front of lots of trash!

Damm Hersh...I don't want to hurt your feelings but I don't think it goes well together.

It is temporary right?

Powder coat them when you get the paper together.

There's no doubt that these wheels are nice but the color on your car is not what goes well with it.

But I know that you have a sense of style so I'm sure they will get painted.

19's look much nicer on your car.

I think the whip looks sick and I totally got the analogy of the clk and the trash picture.

Wow, I like the wheels alot. On the fence about the color combo though. How do you drive on NJ roads with 19's?! I have a set of 19 AMG thin spokes and they all cracked. I don't think it helped that they are chromed. Anyways, looks good.

Blech.......

Silver looked best, black was in second place.

This isn't even on the rating scale. Bad idea.

Normally looks good though with your combinations, just not this time. Wheels are sick as hell though. Just not on your car or just not that color..... take your pick.
