Radenergie R5's on a R230
New pictures of my buddy's R230 with Radenergie's. What do you guys think, best lookin wheels for an SL? The bodykit looks sexy as well.

Sorry, I accidentally posted this already in the SL55 forum.

Here's the link to the pictures

I like the wheels but not the bodykit. It stands out amongst other SL's but thats about it imo.

Nice wheels. Not really into the body kit.

nice wheels! But I wouldn't say they are the best looking... Carlsson, Braus, and HRE's look better... but they are still awsome. I agree with the others about the body kit though. It's different, but a bit too... I hate to say it, rice rocket'ish, for me.. I swear I saw the same bumper kits on a Honda or an Acura. But if your friend likes them, that's cool! Important thing is that it's what he wants!

Yeah, it's a little bit more on the agressive side.

Hey Hollywood,

it looks like howard's car

he just sold it recently..... to me

Currently, it has the R20's on the car, but the R5's look much cleaner imo.

LOL Ziggy

That is Howie's car for sure. Well, yours now. I totally agree with you, the R5's look cleaner but you can't go wrong with the R20s either

Heard you got a killer deal =P

ya, got a "fair good" deal in my opinion

im actually thinking about slapping on some 20" 841r or 847r wheels...... but those things cost an arm and a leg.
