[W126 Coupe] Painting my rims...need help

[Shayegan, Richard]

Yes, it's what is known as MMTBS: More Money Than Brains Syndrome. Largely a product of rapidly rising incomes in certain economic sectors. When a person has lots of money but no class, you end up with BMW 7 series vehicles with black wheels, people paying markups above MSRP on Mustangs, wheels larger than 18 inches, and phrases such as "pimp my ride"

So I guess the dark gray or black rims and clear
corners on a new BMW 7 series or S-Class is the owner
just trying to look like a rice burner?
