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

[David Fatovic]

Interesting theory.  And what supporting evidence do
you have for this theory other than your personal
opinion.  I personally think black rims with a chrome
lip on a black car offers a stunning effect.  Has
nothing to do with a MMTBS as you call it for I am
broke as a joke.  

I do not think one person's opinion does not solidify
their own theory with no supporting evidence.  

To me it is stupid for a person to dump money into a
380SE instead of a more desireable or better car. 
That must fall into your MMTBS. True?
