I would have to agree. Big supporter of stock wheels... Sorry just not a big fan of chrome or big rims on the W220... Always thought that it takes away from the car, rather than adding to it.

Granted the decision you make will be yours but I'd say your Winter car looks really good. But if you like the wheels buy them it's your call. If you wanted Purple rims that's your business. Some people are impartial to stock and some are impartial to after market either way both groups are right. That's what makes your W220 unique.

Thats because they need to be cared for like the paint on the car. I black lips on my wheels before and I polished them once a month and they still keep the glossy shine.
