Banned. I got OWNED!!!
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.

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.
