Mercedes Benz Brilliant Silver I think the code is 449

Default Another shot of my '03 430
Strange weather last night in NC --- it was so dark at 6:45 that it makes this shot look like it is black and white.

Default 2001 GS430 in Oklahoma
171,000 miles and still going strong! I cleaned the MAF sensor, replaced the air filter, and put on new wheels and tires recently. Updated the GPS DVD to most recent maps. Great car, bought it used 5 years ago and plan to own it for at least 5 more and another 100,000 miles!

^^^those look to be 3GS oem wheels. You could get them from any 06+ GS (or whichever particular 3GS they came on) I'd scour Craigslist! Playing with balance of chrome and black on silver.
