...cut a long story short, i'm getting the wheels painted on my Merc, but i'm stuck between 3 colours... *Anthracite *Pearl White Or, stay classy with; *Silver The wheels in question are staggered 6 & 8J 15'' banded steels from a W124. The car will is getting restored, and will be either hot rod, or custom car themed (I'm undecided as of yet). Pictures of both can be seen in this thread; retrorides.proboards.com/thread/153398/1984-mercedes-s123-another-projectI always think Silver will go with the classy look of the car, Anthracite will give it a slightly more manacing look, and i've always liked white wheels...so, come on, give me some ideas guys and girls! Thanks! PS - Pictures would be nice  |

What about a beige/cream?

It's amazing how just the colour of the wheels can change the whole look of a motor. I'd go for silver with anthracite second. Lovely Merc by the way |

What colour is the interior? If it's tan or cream I could see that working exceptionally well on the wheels. Whatever the colour picking it out on the wheels could look ace.

I was tempted to get the centres painted red...but i don't know yet, but i decided to stay classy for now, so they're getting done in just silver, and we'll see what they look like, and go from there |
