I say pass.
What kind of wheels are you looking at.
A friend of mine (Rajah) is looking to get new wheels that are very unique (they are VIP style wheels). I think they are the best for the SL, if you want a set I know we could probably get it for real cheap.
Edit, I forgot to talk about the wheels.
Auto Cortures.
Very VIP. It's got a full face and it's got mad lip. It may or may not be your style.

I think your current wheels look better but if I was going to upgrade I would go for wider and stay with 18"s and not necessary taller wheel. The V12 would benefit a lot from wider rims with more tire width rather than taller wheels to drag the performance down.
