Pic request: white w124 w/ 18's
getting a white 500e and want to get a gauge of what it looks like w/ 18's.
Lots of silver 124's w/ 18's on my search, but turned up little on white ones.
TIA.

I actually just put the projectors back on it last weekend, and made a set of eyebrows... i'll put some updated pics up after i paint them, but that will probably only be in like 2 weeks...

Zed, I took your lead on painting the black bumper strips on my Sportline, and also blacked out the door pillars. Really like the change, it updates the look nicely. But no one rocks wheels like yours, why, I dunno.

Glad to see you guys kept the 2 tone look.
I really like the way it breaks up the body height. I've seen a all white 500e and didn't really feel it.
Leaning towards Monoblocks or BBS LM's .
Thanks for sharing....appreciate it.

Please get the BBS LM's, i know its not all about what other people think, but BBS Lm's are going to appeal to a larger group of people. If i had monoblocks on my car, i know everyone i know would hate on it.
BBS LM's are known rims, and probably better quality than the monoblocks. Anyways i just think deep dish rims make the car look much better.
Here's my White 300e, i really wanted BBS LM's but for $4,000 i was never going to get them. So i looked for BBS LM reps and i never found them in time.
Wish i had spent more time looking, but its whatever. Im happy with the way my car looks now, as im not a big fan of the monoblocks etc.

if i do anything else to my car it will probably be blacking out those door pillars... i've loved that look since first noticing it on the old school range rovers, and thankfully they still continue doing that!
i think the sedan c pillar is probably too big, but i wonder what it would look like to black out the A and C pillars on the wagon, like they do on the ranges??
as for the wheels, i was contemplating for a while of getting a staggered setup going with a wider wheel in the back, i'm a huge fan of concave wheels, but they discontinued these now so i can't find them anywhere. probably for the best, i most likely would not been able to get rid of the 2 old ones and had to turn them into coffee tables or something...

The only thing I WOULD do if I were in the shop again...is (and credit to Seitgeist for the original comment) I would paint up around the top of doors, for a larger blackout area. (more on the sedan, the wagon not sure)
On each door, everything satin black above the bottom of the window.
Looks like you may have that covered with the wind blocks...but thought I'd mention it. I wonder even about the A pillar.
But my tendency now is to wait for a "need" before most any spend of that nature, I am just daily driving these toys. And think I have a good several years left before I tire of funnin with them.
I love the effect of deleting the BLACK bumperstrip on the light grey...not so relevant on black cars (dark grey) or even the green car, as the black does not scream early 90s on those cars.
But imo, when folks "love" the twotone on your car, it is largely due to the kit, because our cars are very similar minus that kit, and monochrome seems to me to be a sure improvement on mine, which, if I am fortunate enough to have an accident, I'd likely paint those lowers.

TireRack has an interactive online fitment menu. You select an image of your car, and its body colour. Then select wheels offered for that car, in various rim sizes. It will give you a good idea of how they look.
