my 2004 SL500 with new shoes! OZ Ultraleggera HLT 20" modified

Modified front OZ Ultraleggera HLT's, had to get the 10" rears, cut them to 9" wide to fit the front wells and match the concave curvature of the spokes of the back. The front stock 8.5" wheels have spokes that where flat, not curved inwards... aye! Lots of work but finally done!

Christmas present - wifey even had the salesman move over my keepsake stickers... Man, I love this car. Had an '06 BMW 650i, '07 Jag XKR, 2010 CLS550 and now my ultimate dream car. It is amazing - only driven it 10 miles - utterly shocked at the difference in handling, acceleration, and balance. A bit disappointed in the quality of the HVAC controls...

Congrats! I got mine two days ago. Mine is Diamond White. I moved to SL from an S. Big difference in performance. I do miss the comfort of the S though.
