I like the originals, I'd REALLY like the dogdish rims... even the old style smaller ones that came on the red VW bug...

those wheels look good on the Vista! Wonder how they'd look on the green variation, not the loud green, the other....

These are one of my favorite MB wheels, but I sure like the poverty caps as well!

The MBX factory has changed wheels on a model while producing it,when running out of another wheel. Nice find!!!!

Wonder no more. A 10sp green version has now appeared in a few 10-packs.

Interesting...haven't seen one with those.. I've only seen them with the wheels w/ the black centers and tri-bar center spinner design.

Take a silver paint pen to the spinners and make them into nice-looking mags with no wheel swaps needed. They'll come out like this:

IMHO, I think the dog dish wheels look better on a (police) cruiser. But there are a lot of MB cars with spinners that I think would look better with mags (this Chevy pickup is a good example). In ten minutes with a bit of patience the paint pen makes a big difference and while the paint pen is out you can detail the door handles, mirrors, whatever while you're at it.

There are 3 green colors of the Vista Cruiser? The white variation looks good with the poverty caps. If I can find another Superfast '69 Deville, I may put the white stripe poverty cap wheels from it onto a white Vista Cruiser.
