Enjoy![/QUOTE]

WOW! Thanks Thirdmotio!!! That is incredible. Like I said I have Photoshop but only know how to use the bandaid tool lol. That gunmetal looks good but I have heard from some peeps that the Exel rims are junk. I emailed the manufacturer regarding the weight of the 18" rims and you know what the said?..."We are sorry to say that we cannot give you the weight information. Feel free to contact us again if you have more questions." What the? I have a feeling since the rims are only $170 a rim the manufacturer may be withholding vital info. In anycase, after careful deliberation and impatience, I purchased the 5Zigen Hyper5zr's in hyperblack. They are very light and look great on the Benz I saw. The actual price will be given to me on Tuesday when discount tire opens again but shoud be $200-$230/rim. Thx again Thirdmotio for the labor and I will post pics when the 5Zigens are installed.

sweet kdogg. Those 5Zigens you picked are better than the ADRs. Post up pics when you got them on.

I personally wouldn't do either on an ES. Its just not sporty enough to deserve gunmetal or black wheels, even though that is the trend now.

But whatever floats your boat.

Still haven't recieved my 5zigens in yet, should be about 1-2 more weeks but...when you see the hyperblack 5zigens in person, they look alot better than they do online. Can't explain it exactly, the look more shiny and just have a nice tint to them. Either way I will be happy cuz my girl is covering them for an early birthday present.
