still not the best picture but can give some idea how they will look. Still confused about the colour of the nuts, can't decide between black or gold (anodized)

wow the wheels are beautiful! I would go for black. I think gold is too much, but I could be wrong

Love the wheels, can't wait to see them on the car.
another +1 for black, gold will look dirtier faster and be harder to clean once assembled. Black is good at hiding dirt and brake dust I tried the same thing with zinc coating wheel nuts and the only looked great for a while

Hey guys, thanks for the help, will go with black nuts .. next step is putting all the wheels together and fit the tyres.
In the meantime I have started playing with the brakes as well. The plans are the following: Front: 4 piston brembos with 316x28 vented discs (Mercedes) Back: 4 piston brembos with 300x28 vented discs (Mercedes) Handbrake: drum-style handbrake (Mercedes) or hydro Wilwood brake bias valve Bigger master cylinder As you can see it is not a plug and play setup, but an other challange to be done.. Btw what do you think about the colour of the calipers? 1, Red calipers with gold Brembo lettering 2, Gold calipers with grey lettering 3, grey calipers with gold lettering 4, tell me the best

Gold with Grey lettering is my vote, subtle yet conrasting.

Yesterday was the day of the first start of the engine. No oil leaks & healthy sound.. everything seems OK
I've decided to match the color of the fanshroud with the wheels not with the car

Here is a short video of the engine if you're interested. Enjoy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yMekwWfpdU after that some oil appeared under the engine..still not sure where it is from  I would say the oil filler or the tube of the pushrod but have to check it again.

Good to know that the LM clears them perfectly without spacers
