Any Pics of SL on 16 inch wheels?

I am considering buying 16 inch AMG wheels with winter tires for my SL. My concern is that these wheels will look disproportionate to a car. Does any one have pictures of a car with 16 inch wheels on?

Thank you.

16's on an Sl would look horrible. I think in 2003 17 inch wheels were standard and 18's were an option. Id find a set of cheap 03 or 04 stock wheels on ebay.

16" are too small for the car. There are lots of good winter tire choices for the 17" and 18" wheels. Go to the Tire and Suspension Forum on this site and check out the threads. There's one on winter tires. Or ask Luke at TireRack.
