HRE 540R in 19's

What beefy tires you have in the back!

great wheels, but looks tad small IMO. the R230 should run at least 20" with the upgrade.

Awesome man...I love the 540Rs...one of the best design. But the SL makes the 19" look so small...ya, should go 20" instead.

Thanks for the comments all. I actually considered 20", but I have a friend with a R230 and 20" wheels, and he complained about the ride....traded them out for 19" brabus rims. I think the 19s actually fit the car well; should have been the stock size to begin with!

On another note, anyone know how much the OEM 18in SL500 wheels (5 star spoke) weigh? These rims with Pilot Sport 2 tires feel "lighter" than my stock setup (Pilot Sports with the 18" OEMs).

19" HREs are about 23-24lbs each without tires.

18" OEM wheels I would expect them to be at least 28-29lbs. Just for some reference to compare the AMG type IV in 17" weight 27lbs.

I think they look great on your SL...but I guess I am biased a bit.

Good doing business with you and let us know how the exhaust turns out.

Looks great. I had 20s and the ride was so rough I went back to 19s.

I wanted to save my ride so I just stayed with 18's, and I just put mine on too. Look kinda similar to yours, but I decided to just go with the AMGS on Pirelli's, my favorite combo. I got more pics in the Sticky R230 Picture Thread.
