hi guys,

i am all new here to SL. the car which i purchased came with 22" wheel on it (which i don't really think i might need that big of rim), so i am wondering what would be the best wheel size for sl? thanks guys.

on the other hand? did anyone know how to change japanese language to english?

Hmm, haven't seen 22's on an SL before. I think 20s are the perfect size for the r230 body.

You have 22's on an SL?

I gotta see this! Post pictures!

I think most people will tell you that 20" is the max rim size you can fit on an SL.

I had 20's on my old SL55 and I found it a bit too much.

I have 19's on my current car and I think it is perfect. They don't look quite as good as 20's but the ride is so much better.

19's are optimal

I would love to see a pic of the sl on 22's . The tires are prob like rubber bands. I think 20's give the perfect look but be prepared for maintenance especially if you live in a pothole area. Living in NJ/NYC Ive fixed every rim at least once.

19's

thanks guys!

yeah i though so too! either 19" or 20" would be the best! don't know about the brand yet. i will just ride with this 22 for now untill i found the new set for my SL. here are the pics! sorry about the crappy ph pic tho.

btw anyone know how to change languages?

Ahh it's got a Widebody kit, show full pix of this SL from further away IE show entire car thanks

Whoa you lucky man, you have the veilside SL65 Black series kit on it??

crazyfox

sorry for the late reply guys. since we have a long holiday called thingyan aka water festival. thus, i couldn't keep my hand on internet. here are the pic.

I think they look good on the car. Just a visual opinion.

Gene Gorman

I think that this is the perfect wheel for a SL

kustom2k1

Great looking car.

RaFFi ///AMG

Now that its confirmed you have a widebody, the 22's look normal for that car. Anything smaller than 21 or even 20 is just way too small. I say keep the set up.

crazyfox

thanks guys! i might keep this set up for a while until i finish on my modding (second HE, pully, ECU, etc). i think i must add another HE since i am living in very hot climate region. what do you guys think? RT or EvoSport? i found someone is trying to test out the killerchiller.

Thericker

You going w/bigger pulley what size ps Bodykit looks great!

Sharkster

Nope.
Go with 19 in the front and 20 in the rear. That's the original SL65 BS setup. It looks/feels/drives perfect.

kustom2k1

Go Killer Chiller and be done with it. You can leave your stock HE alone and put a 3 way valve in to switch from KC to HE. I leave it on the Killer Chiller. Trust me you'll love it.

CarterSoze

if you put 20's with a wide body itll prob look small, your car looks good although i think 20" id the correct look for an sl, 22's suit your car

I have HRE 19s running a 285 tyre on the back. I think that is just the right size, fills out the wheel well and doesn't sacrifice ride quality for a look that you can't even appreciate while you are driving

.

My opinnon is
Rear 11*20" ET28 / 305*25*20"
Front 9*20" ET15 / 255*40*20"

Sorry... I saw also you have black series car so my specs is not right at that car....

threeMBs

255/40-20 tire will never fit front of any SL - its 28" diameter.

crazyfox

okey guys,

i might be a little off to the topic. shall i add secondary HE or kompresor cooling upgrad from evosport? or both? and if i buy RT's airbox (i know it looks great) what did they really do?

Thericker

Why do you need Kompressor upgrades IE your car is badged SL65 Black Series...
I know previous owner did it right please scrape it off, even if it had a V12 Biturbo it's still a FAR cry from a real Black Series.. It's obviously an SL55 look @ the smaller NON 2-piece rotors. I bet it's really slow w/those giant 21-22" wheels.
