Default I wasn't fond of the big Merc to begin with but this is just ugly!

Don't like the wheel which won't look good after the first application of the brake pedal. How do you wash it?
Looks like a show / display car item only to me.

I'm with you - can't imagine trying to keep them clean.

Default You could always paint your own design on the inside

Even that spin art from the local county fair ;-) Paint it like one big BMW symbol LOL!

Or put photos! Like a front loading washing machine.

Or make it into a gold fish bowl. How many G's can a fish take? Maybe if those were spinners...
