I trust you're happy with them. Not my thing though, I prefer silver wheels. Looks too much like the Batmobile for my liking. Enjoy though!

I like the color scheme you're going for, but not the split 3 spoke design. Reminds me of Advans.

What did you do with your old E500 wheels? If you still have them, would you care to sell them?

Your car looks very bold and is making a statement! The color scheme is also well done! I don't think it looks ugly at all, but it sure is aggressive.

I personally would not do something like that to my car since it might attract too much of the wrong kind of attention. By this I mean that kids and other people might want to do something to it. I mean look, you already have a couple of hoodlums sopping out you car in one of your pictures , you see what I mean?

Morning Steve,
Do you think you might be guilty of perhaps 'pre-judgement'? Those 'hoodlums' might be friends? or employee's of the ownerof the car.

Pre-judgement, me????

Have a nice day,
Regards John
