I hate bling wheels. Sans the wheels, it looks rather nice.

I cannot stand bling either, yet those wheels are not bling. Bling implies chrome. As for the car, I love it. The bodywork is incredible.

Don't care for them. I like the more open look too. I agree with tiggerfink - I like the standard SL500 wheels - has anyone ever seen them in chrome? Any pics?
