I'm meeting with two sets of photography teams (2 in each group)...one tomorrow and another on Friday. Both groups are college guys in photography/graphic arts majors and they are doing it for FREE...both have their own rigs and lights.

I've seen some of their work and it is pretty good. We are just talking locations, type of photos, and possible models (college girls...anyone?) for the shoot.

He pulls it off big time...the combination of black, red, and gold took a bit to get used to, but I'm loving it as well.

Great pics in a good location

As someone else said, the gold rims could have turned out bad, but your SL looks sick with them

Sickid the car is looking good dude!

Fellas black car with gold rims is not a whole new concept at all! It's been done many times especially on race cars running the old BBS 3pc modular wheel with the gold magnesium centers althrough the eighties and nineties and even on GT cars today...the mesh style gold is a classic GT car wheel look...it's been done on street cars many times also...using BBS LM to other aftermarket brands like what sickid has (Iforged I believe)...

it's a tried and true good look and color combo, black or any other dark color with gold centers; heck any color (Ilike a white car with gold center rims personally)...it's a classic GT or touring car look; no doubt in my mind it would work!
