2006 Mercedes Benz E55
So, I decided to paint the 2010 SL63 wheels that I have on my 06 E55...

I painted them myself at work... I painted the lips in alabaster white and the rest of the wheels in deep black... I also sprayed my nitrous bottles in alabaster to match the car/the mercedes logos also in alabaster and the lug nuts in black... Here are some pics... I hope you guys like them...

I've never like the white wheel/lip, but i have to admit they look very hot on your car. You have some talent there. How big of a shot are you running on your car? The Beast looks nice and fast!!

Honestly, I like the black with the white lip but I don't like the gleaming center cap...

But that's just my taste... ;-)

Is the car really running a dual shot of nitrous, or are the bottle just for show?

It might be but the question is can the motor take such shots?!

Sure, if done correctly.

I would be cautious because I remember a guy that ran a tank in his C230 coupe and the engine couldn't handle the shot and it ended up melting the motor.

The C230 and M113 E55K engines shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence.

There's a couple of guys here that run nitrous on their W211 E55s without issue.

Again, it just has to be done correctly and the car has to have a custom ECU tune for it.

Wrong case. LOL.

I meant to say I heard of a guy around here that put a bottle in his car which he himself installed. When he went for it, the motor melted, but because it was installed improperly. For some reason it reminded me of that one too.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thats why I'm a little skeptical about it.
