Chrome wheels.

There is a black Sport with chrome wheels where I work. The chrome wheels look good with black from a distance, but when you get closer, the wheels themselves just don't look right because some of the details are covered up by the chroming process. Ditto for the stock 7-spoke wheels on the 230, but other wheels, like the stock wheels on the E320, look nice in chrome.<br>

There are a couple of downsides to wheel chroming as well. First, the chroming process can weaken the alloy. Second, you may have never-ending problems with air leaking from your tires.<br>
