I am hung up on this one, firstly I said definite NO, then when they are on the car I thought still NO but the more I look the more I soften towards them. not saying I will ever love them but the sort of thing that might grow on you:D I think mirror backs white and tail lights darkened:)

I was surprised at how dumbed down the colour of the red wheels looked in the photographs shown fitted to the car and wondered if this was due to the light reflection of the white car affecting the aperture/shutter speed of the camera being too small/fast for the darker coloured wheels, I think an overcast day with more focus on the wheels will produce a far different representation of the true red colour of the wheels?

Think your right, Tony, depending on the time of day,
how good your phone/camera is where the sun is, the wheels will be different shades of red. :)

They are definitely not for me, but Tony likes them so that's all that matters. :)
Yep, they are my choice, I like them, something different from the norm, seems quite a few folks do like them, and don't get me wrong it's nice, if the the things you do to your car are liked, but not essential, as I've said everyone has his/her own opinion. :)

I like them Tony, something a bit different.
Maybe some more photos, in different lights/ angles just might change some views ?

An old B-Class.
Nice on a Ford Focus or Golf GTI not a E Class coupé. Starting (IMO) to look like a boy racer's car.

However as we all agree, it is your car and your choice.

If we all had teh same tastes life would be boring.

Have you done something with the suspension, it doesn't look like it's collapsed any more :)

I'm going to risk the splinters and sit on the fence. Some pics in the shade might give a better contrast between body and wheels as I really can't see the full horror of them in the bright sunlight shots..:rolleyes:
