I would definitely change the color before you switch wheels. I remember you getting feedback on the idea a little while ago. As far as white....hit the photoshop forum and see what they can do for you. I would do it but Im knee deep in books for my engineering finals.

The above pic looks good but if your really going to do it. It has has the to be the right type of wheel.. You don't want it to look like a white hondas with white 5 stars do you.. Keep us posted on what you decide... IMO i think it may take away some of the classiness way from the GS..

Remember those 1980s AMG cars?

mike ross has a white on white 745 also.the white would look good if you have a nice crome lip and full face rim.(like in the pic)why do you want to paint the?black looks good.

I know a guy with a white benz e-class...he has white faced Maya wheels with sparkling crome lip. Looks bad to the bone. All eyes turn when he rides through.

I looked at your profile and saw you have the pearl white, I wouldn't do it with that color. White on white was very hot a few years ago its been making a small comeback but with so many more options out their like blk,graphite,gunmetal, blk chrome, its tough to see white being very again. Plus I'm not sure how a pearl white car would look with pear lwhite wheels . I would vote for race gold like that volk gold on white looks killer and is very hot right now...

example.

I like what blue just said about the wheels.. The gold wheels really make the car stand out in good way.. The wheels really give the GS flare.. IMO i think it looks really good.. I'd rock them on my PDW..
