OK, let me preface by saying I know this is going to sound a little off. But...

Is anyone running Daytons on their ride? 18" or larger wires specifically.

Sound weird?

I had a friend mockup a 202 with a set of 19" Daytons just in pencil (hes a grpahic artist) and it looked dope. I am just wondering if anyone has gone the wire wheels route, and if so can anyone post a pick?

Call it a fantasy but... 18" Daytons with color matched wires to the C36 may be a good look.

Just curious...

i've never thought of it, much less having seen them on a 202. however, the idea is somewhat intriguing in a very odd way.

orale, if you're man enough to gracefully take the internet beat down for it... why not rock the daytons.

Oh, and in all my years of being here, no one has put on daytons and posted pics of it....you can be the pioneer.

HAHAHAHA... awesome! What a killer response! I reacted the same way when I heard the idea, and I'm not gonna defend it, it's an odd thing.

Hey if you don't push the envelope, you never know right?

I think I'll have to photoshop up a pic and post it.

The link to the Daytons is the right rim.

I'll post what I come up with.

at first i read this and was like FUCK NO.


but after thinking about it, and trying to picture it, i think it can be pulled off.

I admire you and respect that you want to do something very different with your car. And by different not like, a new style of staggered rims or maybe some different light setup. You are merging 2 genres of auto customizing.

I am still going over a million different ideas in my head, so i know how you feel. I say do it, but keep it tasteful, and it'll look fine.

im sorry guys, I didnt want to bash on this rim style, maybe somebody here really does like the type. who am I to judge ?!

well, i don't hate them, i don't like them either. it's kinda like that other guy with the brabus star rims, this is on the other end of the spectrum. it's not very fitting, and very strange.
don't like the color. u might get better response putting up a black setup.

ok, after a 2nd look, i just disliked it a bit more.

HAHAHAHA! This is awesome!

The rims on my C36 are 18" AMG rims, and will stay that way. I won't be switchin them out for these rims or any other rims for that matter. Just thought it was a different look, and wanted to see your reactions!

Dunno, maybe the black wires would look better... we mocked up the red ones so that's what I photoshopped.

Thanks Logan!

I dropped an intro thread in the members gallery if you all want to see her in her actual guise:

Check this thread.... (http://www.club202.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10596)

Thanks for all the feedback on the idea and for being such good sports!

Now I gotta work out how to shoehorn a kompressor blower under the hood!

For the $ you would spend on those rims you could get a nice set of different AMG Mono's and nice tires and the car would still look like a Benz. I'm not gonna say sorry like everyone else for my opinion though, I think they look like ghetto crap, but you are entitled to do whatever with your car.
