EPIC FAIL - another modified car gone horribly wrong!
Words simply don't do justice to this so I'll just show the pictures! Why would someone so badly ruin such an awesome car? Another perfect example of money not being able to buy you good taste!

It's a 2003 G55 AMG on cars.com. Here's the seller's notes from the ad. I've bolded and underlined my favorite part. Done right?
* CUSTOM CHAMELEON BIG $$ PAINT JOB! * 23 INCH DAVIN BLAKONYX WHEELS! * 3 12 INCH KICKER SOLAR BARIC L7 SPEAKERS! * 2 KICKER 1500.1 AMPLIFIERS! This G Wagon is DONE RIGHT from the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING CUSTOM PAINT to the KICKER STEREO SYSTEM and DAVIN WHEELS! * 2 OWNER CARFAX CERTIFIED!

I agree with others. Paint can stay as an "unique" feature but those wheels need to go. Not that I would drive that thing but it's a cool looking color.

Wow! I didn't think it was possible to make that box-on-wheels any worse looking. Guess I was wrong!

We can always hope it was a prank and not done on purpose. . .

Wheels suck. Paint is interesting.

Not sure why the spare wheel cover is white

Put some nice wheels on it and get rid of the chrome and it would look ten times better

Yeah I'm sure the brakes weren't too happy, but at the same time I bet they did just fine. When I bought my G550 (without AMG brakes) the dealer had put 22" wheels on it new because that's what most people wanted. I of course asked for a set of stock wheels instead, but they'd sold them. The truck did remarkably well with braking with those monsters on it.

I'd tend to agree with the majority of you that the paint color is kind of interesting and might look ok with different wheels. The problem mostly lies in those wheels which are pug fugly and totally make for the EPIC FAIL!
