yeah you are right!
it wasn't 65 so right now in my hand i only put SL AMG. and the previous owner was VeildSide. This car is actually a show car (from 2012 tokyo auto sloon). and this one is their first 1 of the 1 body kit. so they put it in 55. but then they want the real 65 so they got one in orange colour and i am lucky enough to buy this off from VeildSide. right now you will see my car with SL and AMG. i would be feel guilty if i put 65 on my back of the car.
i wound't mind if my car is in slow motion. coz in my country we don't really have highway to step down my gas paddle down to the ground.
so it would be okey. i will now only focus on modding tho, only after i am satisfied with my modding i will change my topic to Wheel no more bodykit since it came with Black Fortune VS.
the reason why i am upgrading HE is i am living in hot climate region (BURMA you can google it). that's why. i am looking at RennTech and EvoSport.
their prices are almost similiar. which one is more reliable? since i am totally new in SL. let me count on you guys.

seriously thinking about Eurocharged Stage 2. any advices which should i know? since i am totally noob in here. it seems like a lot of guys from here like Eurocharged tho. i did find out that their price is resonable but not sure about the quality? has anyone get feed by them for more HPs?
Evosport is a bit pricy than Eurocharged. but then it seems their qualities are good tho. dang! so hard to decide! if i stick with Eurocharged then stage 2 will cost me 3900 in order to get 582 bhp and 646 lb-ft. if i go with EvoSport stage 1-(2500) + stage 2-(2700) = 5200 then i will get 585 bhp, that wasn't even included secondary HE! sigh ...
btw under drive pulley is a must?

Perfect Size Wheels ? - Depends on your wallet
New Wheels and tires
OEM 18" before
If you run your numbers correctly and assuming you want your speedometer to stay true, the only other issues out there are your personal taste and the cost of your wheels and tires. In my investigation of moving away from the stock 18" wheels, I found the prices of anything bigger than 19" to be somewhat hateful. The 19"s on the other hand are quite reasonable, having bought my wheels on E-Bay from Diamond_Wheels (highly recommended)and my Continental DWS tires from Tire Rack, I got away for under $1,500 total.

Keep your existing wheel set up! I would only change it if the ride is too rough for your taste. THe 22's fill out the wheel well perfectly!

Sharkster,
I'm looking a a 19" front, 20" rear set up now for my SL500 AMG body kit. Can you tell me the rim widths and tire sizes you've seen work with that set up? Thanks in advance.
