    ...the Pharoah's Merc ran caps...I've never thought of those caps as Mercedes Logos but painted that way...:eek:

    This Merc looked best at night...

    @ZZ Top Chop have you ever thought of buffing the satin to a shine?

    I like them without the skirts....but if I had skirts on it I would only have bought 2 wheel covers for the front.......hey I'm economic.

    That's all I see is the Mercedes logo when I see those caps!

    I get it for sure. I think I'll keep both sets of wheels when I want to change it up

    Skirts on Merc’s - always!! But as always it’s your car and enjoy. The WWW are always a plus on Kustoms too. Great looking car.

  14. It is a tough decision because it looks good with the tall black sidewalls, and it looks good with wide whites. I'd say wheel color and cap or rings are what is the thing to set it off for sure. It's your vision that should really matter to you. Nice looking car though.

    I prefer skirts on a Mercury but it looks kool without too. Run it that way for a while, enjoy it. You can always put the fender skirts back on later. How is that for a flip flop opinion. Lol!

    As I see your car it has conflicting clues as to what it wants to be. Example:
    Hot rod = matte paint, louvers, no skirts, no hubcaps higher clearance, dual exhaust black wall tires.
    Custom = wide white walls, 58 Chevy roof scoop, spot lights, skirts, Hub caps, shiny paint.

    as many have said, it is your car, do whatever makes you happy.
