I wanted to do my lips black chrome but just got them refinished guess I wait till later when I get tired of them to give the car a fresh look. Love the look would have liked to see it all white think it would look cleaner or maybe minus the tinted headlights.

Cartel has no website nor do they pop up for a phone number on the web. I tried to contact them after that video I saw with the white CLK with Sevas S-55, this is the same car with different mods. I had a set of the 20" -55's before also and I was going to ask them the tires sizes but I figured it out on my own.
