05 SL55 AMG
Long time stalker finally joining

So I have been creeping on these pages for some years now and have never posted, figure its best time to start.
I have a 05 SL 55 AMG, it has been in the shop more times then I can count but let me tell you the insurance company probably hates me. I am out in Colorado Springs, have been here about 6 years now and with the car since Feb. It has been in Alabama and Tenn for most its life but only has 60k miles. I did talk to the guy at Kleemann in the Springs about the modifications for it but with all the hail here in the area and money going else where I might have to wait a little.
I am looking for some new wheels and was looking all over the for sale section as well recently. The previous owner put these wheels on just not feeling them any more.
Only modifications I have done is led plate lights, lowered a little, carbon fiber lip and spoiler and drop in K&N filters.
