Talking Need Aftermarket Wheels

Hello Everyone.
My name is Danny, i live in California- Bay Area, for the past three years, I'm originaly from Kosova/Albania (Europe).
New to the forum.
We have decided to put some rims on my cousin's 1999 Sl 500 black on black, with amg body kit, and sport suspension.
The car right now is runing on Amg rims, but we want to change the look a little.
The right place to get good opinions is here, of regarding the dimmensions and the size of wheels and the tires.
Any feedback is very appr.
Thank you very much .

Just do a search regarding rims/tires. There has been plenty of discussion in the past and will give you some good ideas.
Also scroll through the 129 gallery. There's all kinds of ideas to choose from.
Enjoy and welcome to the forum.
