Question A few pics

New to me 2009 SL65 with Black Series wide body kit.
Can anyone identify what brand body kit this is as I purchased the car from a dealer and do not have contact with the previous owner? ie. Prior Designs? Thanks.

Those wheels are Vertini RF1.1, i have the 1.3 version. Man how big of a spacer did they put on the hubs to get the wheels to stick out that far, check to make sure it's safe, there's a lot of torque to handle from this car.

OK I will have to check the spacers when I receive the car. I'm trying to arrange enclosed transport from Arizona to Florida.

The sales guy told me the wheels were Rohana RF1?

2005 R 230 SL350 (M112 3.7). Sold the 1966 W113 230SL recently

And our bone stock SL350 on holiday in the U.K. Perfectly happy with the non-ABC ride quality.
