Some of those look good, but the majority look too made up.
To me, cars like Mercedes-Benz, BMWs, Lexuses, etc, look tacky 'pimped out'. They come nice already and it just adds tackiness when you put 25 inch rims on one of them, etc.
I don't have any problem with a little modding, but when you lower it 5 million inches, get huge rims, put decals on it - thats when it looks tacky.
I would actually love to get some 18-19 inch rims on my SL 320 though...but that would just give it more beasly roadster look - not pimped out.....
if anyone follows me...

Well put, I agree completely. "Pimping" out a car is never the classy way to go. I can't stand those 22 23 24+ in wheels, all they do is bring ALOT of attention and take away from driving enjoyment. Make it overly flashly, and everyone will notice it. But tastefully modify it, and the car enthusiasts will notice it.
