I'm gonna have to say HRE's too.

I love the 800 series...smooth lip...none of that classic 3-piece bolt look crap. I hate that

Very nice, but...

19 x 8.5 - $1,643 ea.
19 x 10 - $1,763 ea.

Total: $6,812 :eek:

EACH??? OMG........Wheels actually worth as much as the car.

Is nothing sacred?:D

1. BBS RG-R
2. Volk GT-7 (gunmetal center, polished lip)
3. Fikse FM/10

not terribly expensive, only in the ~$2K/set range (not ~$2K/wheel like Jimlab's!)

I dunno Jim, i've never priced it, but i'll bet you could do my pie-in-the-sky center-lock setup (third post or so) for not much more than this... not including the Porsche ceramic-composite rotors of course, as those are likely 6k all by themselves.

If money was not an issue, then I would take the stock rims on the Farrari 360 Modena. Of course the car would come with it.

But since money is an issue, I had these rims put on- as a matter of fact , I had then put on just a few hours ago! http://home.pacbell.net/sedchew/borbet_fd.jpg

There are a few options I'm thinkin about, but the 19" Brabus Monoblock VI 2-Piece is what I'm leanin' towards. Clean and classy...

HRE would pretty much be my top choice, but their styles are a little too sporty for a Mercedes-Benz, IMO. Most are too thinly-spoked for a larger car, and I don't think the 546/546Rs would look too good on an SL.

I would go dub-status, but even with 19s, I'll need some very low-profile tires (P295/30-19) in the back. With 20" tires, even the most low-profile ones out there are too big in diameter compared to the factory P285/35-18. Messing with tire diameters is NOT something I want to do, especially in a Benz with so many electronics working off the tire-speed.

Money not being an issue.... OZ Super Leggera 3's 18x8.5" in front 18x10" rears

Rhode_Dog 05-10-03 12:37 AM

A set of Fikse's like these would do nicely

crazysuprakid 05-10-03 02:08 PM

I'd go with some HRE 540's in 18x10 and 18x11.

Work Meister 2SR's.. =P~~

Nathan Kwok 05-18-03 02:46 AM

I think I'd commission Volk to make a custom set of TE-37 mags, in, mmm, 17x9.5f 17x11r. In gunmetal. With the right offset for 2.5" springs so I can run nice, wide tires (can anyone say 275 front 315 rear?) With rolled fenders, M2 trailing arms, and 2.5" springs I think that might actually fit.

kyle@insight 05-23-03 01:32 AM

mmmm Advan Sienna II's.... My FD will be rockin those soon.
