Are those multi spec SL55 wheels 18"? For some reason I don't like them because they look small.
If you want the black series look I think the C63 Style V/5 16spoke will look better.
Im actually saving up for a set, they aint cheap, ive only seen them one place online and they go for 2,200Euros but they are sweeet!!

I don't think multi-spoke wheels look too bad, a few guys are doing that now from full turbine style like mine to a spoked style like Dyno's.

hey guys i installed the wheels today or so i thoughtt..i put them on they looked great..a nice agrressive look, front tires 255 back tires 275...but i put em on and went around the block, and the problem wasnt that it was rubbing again the plastic but it was rubbing against the suspension..i could have prolly put some spacers but really think it would be worth it..so i took them off..

I imagine 10mm spacers would have done the trick. If you liked the wheels, spacers are cheap mate...
