IMHO, it's a little overdone. I would just smoke the rear blinkers

Just my .02

I agree. plus, its more of a sporty look, and there isnt much "sport" with an E320 and 16" wheels. Id get some 18's and smoke the white portion of the tail lights as well. orange sidemarkers look bad. keep them orange, or buy clears and then tint, or just remove and put in paint-matched covers (no light). My $.03

I don't like the smoke tail lights. But, the blinker is fine. I had mine painted, too.

I am not too big a fan of smoked lights but on your ride I think it fits nicely. Gives it a nice clean look. I'm not a big fan or black rims either but I think if you get some with a nice polished lip it will look nice on your ride.

Being different isn't always going to please everyone so don't worry about what people say on here. Just do what you think looks good.

No offense, but I think those rims belong on a SUV. To each his own I guess.

I too am not too big a fan of smoked lights but on a black E, it looks pretty good. Regarding your selection of rims, I don't know. You might sever your hand cleaning them.
