19 or 20"? Geniune or copies? I like the style of both, and I have to say, I have seen one particular set of the copies, and they are quite high quality. In any event, do you have any pix, and where did you get them? Thanks....

If you go 20's you should limit where you drive to perfect roads IMO. There isn't much sidewall left so a small pothole or curb spells disaster. I have the 19" LM6 purchased from a MBworld member used. They look fantastic, although some of the stealth is now gone.

Yeah, I 'd like to hear about them....
and I'd like to see any pix that any of you have. Is your ride height standard, I plan on using SDS to lower mine. Thanks for the info.

SL/M6
Ive had 3 sets of 20's on my SL as well as the stock 18's....While the 18's were more comfortable, the 20's with 305 in the rear are the best in my opinion and worth the thinner sidewall.

They are available in different finishes of course.
This is standard height, stock SL55/65 size wheels and tires (Pirelli p zero rosso)

I used 20" in chrome, car looks awesome, nothing but complements. Ride is real stiff with small sidewalls, should have gone with 19's I guess, did I mention looks great with the 20". I tried to post photos with no luck. can anyone help with instructions to add photos?

no doubt that they look ill, but if it was a DD for me, id take to much mental anguish to be comfortable.

Click post reply
Click the paperclip symbol
Browse through your computer to the file you want to add and select it
Click upload
add your coments
Click post reply
Note: if the file doesnt upload it is too large in size or in pixels. The max is 800X600 pixels. You must set your camera to this size or use a program (such as the one that came with my HP printer) to resize to 800X600
Did I mention the SL600 handles much better with the 19's P Zero Rosso than the stock 18' Michelins
