Desert SL55
After living in San Diego California all my adult life....moved to Phoenix so I can finally own a home! No more beautiful Pacific Ocean photo shoots. However, as a semi professional photographer, I think desert sunsets are definitely more vibrant here!

They were special order and custom drilled to fit my SL. 19x9 20mm 255/35/19 - 19x11 25mm - 305/30/19 They push the wheel all the way to edge of the fenders with no fitment or rubbing issues. Best of all they only weigh 23 lbs and 24.5 lbs. much lighter than the OEM 2 piece boulders that come on the P30 cars. The faces are night polished - not chrome and painted silver - old school style.

Damn! That rear end looks hot! One of the cleanest SLs I’ve seen!

The Interlagos has been discontinued in North America but not in other parts of the world. If you can find them for an SL, the offsets and width will less aggressive.
I have destroyed 2 sets of forged wheels and done with spending $$$$$ on wheels for this heavy tank. The TSWs are as light as mono forged wheels just less strong but so cheap I won’t cry if I destroy them too. In my case if do break one, the other 3 will be paper weights.

Thanks! I'm going to be calling you in the future for some BBS wheels for her. My last BBS wheels I still have on my 88 BMW M5 RKII's which have been solid for 13 years! I had them powder coated period correct gold in the center and polished the lips myself. I have many mods. Renntech 15.2 " floating rotors w/ Brembo Renntech 8 piston calipers up front. Renntech lowering module for suspension. Many engine mods and stereo system too. I have tons of pics of my car in here - just search my user name I guess?

Sure! Feel free to contact us! BTW Love that E28 man! Looks good on BBS RKIIs. Custom RSs would look good on your SL!
The 2nd pic looks like we have one of our worst enemies from Formula 1 lurking in the background!
Did you go there to set them straight and challenge them! Hope you represented us well!
