Not my cup of tea. Looks kind of bling bling. How much does the wheel weigh? Nice pics though.

Concur ... excellent photos but the wheels dont seem to fit the lines of the BS--- they should be on an S Class or maybe an E and I think they would look great with those cars.

How is the car lowered or did you photoshop it...

I'm with with above posters, those wheels do not work on that car.

i like em.....more of an old style 5 spoke design. What's up with the car in the dirt/gravel and the electricity facility backdrop?

I really like these wheels,,,,,but not on this car.
I don't think they are too blingy, just the paint scheme doesn't work well on the silver car. Any silver car.
White, black or dark colored car, yes but silver doesn't seem to match well imo.

Photography is a 10 which help the wheels that are a 5.
In design "dominance" gives the visually satisfying effect of combining similar related elements to create interest. The wheels create interest but don't seem to blend in harmony with the BS lines. I think the reason they don't work is the balance is out of wack in the wheel wells, much like a cartoon, that seems to be the rage for the bling set. I better have a Martini before I start believing my own BS. Jimmy is out.

Careful not to burn the cheese so close to the High Voltage.

I think the message the photographer is trying to convey is that the car is "electrifying". lol

I don't think they are bling-bling.

But...these rims don't exactly fit on this car. Each one has his own taste.

Is there a reason why the detailer ignores the sooty exhaust tips?

Don't get me wrong, I like the rims too. I think Vossen has other rims that would look a little better on the BS. However, it is the individuals tastes on that.

BTW- They are great pics.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Guys know that this is a one of our company show cars. So we plan on putting couple of different sets on this car.

Initially I thought they were okay but after looking at them again I think they actually conflict with the cars lines. Next round you might try rims that are a little less bling and understated. I may be in the market for new rims and would not consider these. JMHO.

I kinda like them too...

maybe a bit on the fence. I think they would have been just right if maybe they were the version without the black painted trim/windows. The Vossen stuff seems to be good quality and nice looking at reasonable prices.

Thats more of an SUV style wheel. This car needs a multispoke or mesh.

Put the wheels that are in the middle of your sig on, and DONT paint the windows black.. and run step lip if you have it! Leave it brushed, or if you must paint the windows, silver/matte.
