I wasn't 100% sure from the angle, but I like the broken up pattern. I like your damn wheels, ok? Jeez.

Hey the wheels are TSW Nurburgring. Matte Gunmetal Gray is the color. They are rotary forged wheels. 17x8 and weigh a little under 18 lbs.

I am on the same boat as OP.
Originally, I wanted GBP. Then I saw it a few times, and during some angles/lighting conditions it was purple-ish which I didn't like. However, the same was with WRB when I saw it the first time - on bright day it was a bit dull and I also had a thought, that GBP is more "mature" and WRB a bit "childish".

My solution is WRB and here are reasons why, maybe it helps:
- I wanted gloss black rims, and with WRB there is more contrast which looks better
- I will put Cquartz on it, and the coating will darken the color a bit. So I hope it will end nicely a bit in between

What more "mature"? Get a nice silver E class.

I like. They've been on my list (in that color) for a while, along with 949 6uls in tungsten.
