Isn't it a shame how much time, effort, and money people will put into such misguided efforts? Yeah, that paint job does look pretty amazing, apart from the rest of the car.

IF it's the GM Diesel, then I understand the doors. It's car's way of saying "I surrender"

It's more like a gesture of "hopeless".

X2 to Jim. They are Centras. Look at one on my car. Got it from a wrecking yard in my 'hood. But mine are staggered - 7x16 front and 8x16 rear. Love them and not many are seen around here. I get lot of questions about the wheels most of the time.

Get them in any finish except chrome.

FYI their is no such thing as a factory chrome MB wheel, I doubt even AMG makes them. They are all aftermarket.
