Just put some wheels on the S Class

Just put some wheels on the S class since I needed tires anyway. I wanted to do something different so I went with Arvano 22x9 et35 front and 22x10.5 et35 rear and I had them powder coated bronze. I get a mixed reaction about the color and it took me a little time to warm up to them but I like it. I still have to black out the chrome and getting the car lowered next week.

And yes. I do have a different style on each side

Wait, you had one style rim on the driver side, and another style on passenger side? For testing, or are you keeping it that way?

Keeping it that way. I design and make wheels so I go through wheels often and I don't like the typical black or silver wheels so I like doing the off colors. It doesn't fall in the typical mb color range but it make my product stand out while being a little different. These are the first and only wheel styles from this company on the street now so your buddy may have a set from a different company.

Man you ask for an opinion but I'm sure most are not comfortable voicing it with regards to your feelings. Ill give you my 2c. 1-You're driving a Mercedes not a Caprice. Keep it classy! 2 unless your car is at seema representing your wheel company and its diffrient wheel styles, stick with the same style wheel on both sides of the car. Rolling around like you do right now does absolutely nothing for your brand. In fact it does the opposite of what you think. You will not attract a Mercedes owner with this type of marketing.

With all of that said. I personally like the multi spoke design!

Why not put 4 different styles on, I find it quite boring as is ;-)..

The Multispokes look good very though.

Thanks for the input guys. I did not run the setup to please everyone but just to bring some attention to the product. Being different in this particular wheel demographic is one of the best ways of introducing a product. I have a brand of mine that is geared more towards guys that look for a more low key factory look that I will probably switch to later but for now I like shaking it up.

I have seen a few classy Caprices out there. Just because it says Caprice on the trunk does not make it an "un-classy" car
