Sorry about the dirty pic, I saw this thread and grabbed the camera (no time to clean first).

You know what they say....a monkey in his mother's eye is a deer...
Those AMG wheels are nice looking,but there are so many modern designs out there that really bring out the best in the 129...the main thing is to fill up those arches..anything smaller and you have done nothing to improve the looks..you need 9x18 front and 10x18 rears...
SL Brabbus...how low is your car? have you lowered it and by how much?
AS to the wheels,they do look great,but Lorinser and Carlsson do fantastic wheels as well...I am in the process of refurbishing my RSK-5 Lorinsers to refit them on my SL...They are 3 piece wheels all chrome like yours.
