It might actually look good if the installation was clean and it didn't have any burned LEDs there.

to me the whole car has been ruined, took a beautiful highend car and made it look like a honda

Is the black wheel trend over yet? I just don't get it I mean I have seen some good versions but for the most part they just look like spare tires

That's what I'm hoping for dude, I figured that they would mesh well with the chrome, CF accents and black roof, a bit of an old school look I guess.

I went with ST281's, multi spoke, gloss black with a deep chrome dish. Yes, yes, I know, they sound like barf but I think I can get them to work. My stuff is getting loaded as we speak, I just recieved this from my mover 5 minutes ago;

"We will be loading your shipment into the sea Container today"

Should have everything in 6-8 weeks! At last!

Will do mate, I think the car is going to have a nice edgy aggressive look when it's done. The contrast will be very bold on a white car.

My thoughts exactly, the touch of chrome will give it some 'life'. I also snagged a set of black center-caps with chrome MB star so it should tie it all up nicely. I bought those wheels and most other things 4 or 5 months ago - the waiting is wearing on my nerves but I should have everything just before Christmas. Ho Ho Ho.
