I like the wheels -- their both strong and elegant, not too bold. I like the idea of painting them black, although leaving the rims chromed could be a bit too bright for me.

Kinda wish U.S. plates were as bright -- the bright yellow makes a nice contrast to the utter blackness of the car. (Not like that's something you can really change...)

Instead of attaching them using the "attachments" paperclip, you can click the "Insert image" picture icon and point to the URL of the image you want to show. The image will then appear full-size in your post.

Cheers,

Michael

ya, they came with car. I like them
But don't LOVE them. Trying to find a move set used fit a good price. But it's hard to justify alot of $ when
These don't look bad. I just want a different 5 star style with little deepe lip and wider rim. But not dropping 5-9k when car only cost me 37cdn. I used to get used hamann pg2 for my e46 for like 2500wtires. People want too much for mb stuff IMO.

Wow, Artyi, those are some fantastic pictures! I especially like the color filter -- really gives the car an extra presence and mass. Good job!
