Pacific NW Guy · 09-17-2006, 10:42 AM

but i look at it and think NEW SHOES! chrome and blue is too Key West for me.

BIG LUV · 09-17-2006, 11:20 AM

It's a 65, color doesn't matter. Nice car.

Torquey55 · 09-17-2006, 02:05 PM

That car is gorgeous. I am insanely jealous of the lucky dude.

If I had $200k handy...

sly55 · 09-17-2006, 02:12 PM

Thanks for posting the pics for me, what do guys think these wheels or stock 65 wheels? The car maybe high because i raise it when i get in the drive way but may not have lowerd it. What ever set I dont keep will be for sale guys!!!

dinko · 09-17-2006, 07:27 PM

Stock wheels would suit this car much better. The chrome just doesn't go with the SL's color.

vraa · 09-17-2006, 07:35 PM

Moving to ... SL65 forum!

Great car!

Christian, change your photobucket settings to allow for higher resolution pictures.

You have to keep those wheels! They look great! Congratulations on the car.

johnlovescar · 09-17-2006, 10:17 PM

Love the car and the color.......

AdamG@NorCal · 09-17-2006, 10:18 PM

Nice, now you need a Renntech ECU/TCU upgrade and Renntech lowering module! And have fun, drive safe!

Congrats.

Although the color wouldn't be my personal choice, it is indeed unique and will make your car stand out from other R230's. I say switch back to the stock wheels, only the silver (not grey) painted ones. Either that or some other high quality wheel which is not chrome. Chrome is too tacky on these cars, IMHO.

The stock wheels have the silver or polished lip so to speak and the gunmetal grey center. I may have these powder coated black if I keep them. I am not sure what to do yet. I guess I need to sell one set but have not decided yet. Do you guys think the renntech front lip would look good or bad on this car? I dont mind the color at all because my hummer is that color and my old cts v was the same color, kind of have a theme going in my drive way.

AdamG@NorCal · 09-18-2006, 02:21 AM

I dont think the Renntech front lip fits the SL 65 bumper. I dont think. Only carlsson front lip is available for the 55/600 and the 65.

Carl Lassiter · 09-18-2006, 01:02 PM

Great car, but i'd put the stock 19s back on. The stock 65 has the perfect combination of subtlety and aggressiveness, if that makes any sense at all.

V12Godspeed · 09-18-2006, 01:18 PM

Nice car Jude, I love either rims, but I am always a fan of polished...man that thing must fly...lol~

You don't need 200K. They are depreciating like bricks. There are lots of low mile '05's for 125-135. That makes the 65 a great performance bargain.

CY · 09-19-2006, 01:29 AM

Looks great...almost all SL65's are either silver or black. I say keep the rims for a while and see how you feel.
