If you had a white car, black wheels then yellow it would be but with silver or silver it's hard to tell. Yellow just I don't know it just doesn't look like it fits. I think maybe black. Maybe it's because I'm not a fan on silver wheels or cars (no offense) so yh......

Off topic....what size socket is needed to crack the lugs loose? I have a torque wrench and cheater bar that I use to knock the nuts loose ready to put into my trunk. Just need to go pick up a socket.

Yellow or black for sure. I think black would lend to the understated style, but yellow would look excellent.

For the record, no pun intended toward the type-r Jags. I was more referring to the Honduh scene. I know those new Jags can do some damage.

My vote is still black.

Pewter, just like your car.

Had yellow on my W211. Liked it for the first month or so and then thought it looked a bit ricey.
