AMGFan is still my favorite murdered out car of all time.

I didn't realize how much I loved what he did with the headlights until I saw a car all black without them done. I say go black rims, but DO THOSE HEADLIGHTS!!!

Yeah, I'm not really going to do the murdered out look. Just thought black wheels would make the 55 look more aggressive.

Hows this? Im leaning towards this finish now...Flat center, glossed lips.

Found some more on an E55.





But I think I like the rivets to be black as well...
