Those wheels really bring it all together. I'm not usually a fan of chrome on our cars, but you have pulled it off better than just about anyone I've seen. The ride height and stance are just about perfect. Nice car!

Quick question. Where did you find the center caps for your wheels? Can you get them painted silver like the color of the regular coupe/'vert wheels?

really looks nice FP. I think the chromed stock wheels, for the NA or the SRT look great on our cars.

The center covers are blank covers for MB wheels. Otis on eBay.
Im sure you can paint them.

I did an exchange with LA Wheels. It's a triple chrome process that carries a 5 year warranty. The exchange cost is about $750. They pay for one way shipping. You have to pay to send you wheels to them. Depending on where you live. Shipping from me was about $120.

Go to their site. They explain the process much better.

FP,

Rims look great on the car, you should consider the AMG style center caps. The plain chrome looks a bit generic to my eye.
