they are 17 inch MB Wheels. they are gunmetal not black but i am thinking i could have them painted or powder coated

so what do you guys think

NOTE pic of my car is with the old wheels

They go with the car. I like 'em.

yeah i like my old wheels but the paint is bad on two of them and i really want to upgrade to a 17 inch wheel

17"?


Really?

At least 20's dude...

Those wheels are everywhere. And they're a cheap knockoff. I like what you have already more.

I agree.

I think your wheels would actually look much better if you were to turn your tires around and have the blackwall side facing out. No offence Alex,but the raised white letters look kinda dated. Also,I think some smaller black center caps would look better on there too.

Flat black paint job. Keep the wheels you currently own.

I've heard nothing but bad about those wheels ... I've seen several broken ,especially on big heavy cars like yours ... Local had them on a bagged caprice wagon and took an offramp and the spokes broke and tire folded up under the car $8k in damages

Agreed, skip it.

If it ain't 20's on a big car like that, they'll look small and stupid.

Just repaint the wheels.

ah sweet thanks

Hey Alex,here's a similar styled wheel too.

^^That's a Boss 338 wheel.



^^KMC Nova wheels are somewhat of a modern take on those styled wheels.

Boss = Sexiest rim pix ever.

Agreed. Is the car black? It looks dark purple.
