Designo Rims

Does anybody know if the 5 star rims that came on the Launch Edition can be ordered with a new purchase? Those rims make the car look better than the standard rims.

5 star rims are overdone. You see them on nearly every car on the road now...


The stock SL55 looks very nice as well as Brabus monoblocks......

I don't care about originality when it comes to rims. If it looks good, it looks good. Besides, what kind of rim would look better?

Please! The guy just asked a civil question....

You, mr finality, can put the wheels of your choice on the vehicle of your choice, but your opinion remains just that.

If 5-spoke Designo is what grabs him, then so be it. He who pays the piper, calls the tune.

Why don't you fill out your profile, so we can see what you drive. Presumably it includes an SL55 with Brabus Monoblocks.

Designo Rims

Looked through the MBUSA website but did not see any listing; probably best to contact your dealer.

Maybe I don't get out enough but I haven't seen them in my area. Personally, I think they look great...

'06 ML500 w/Apperance pkg & '07 SL550 w/AMG pkg
From what I gather, this is only a European options & possibly available through aftermarket vendors or private party. You might get lucky & find a private party who added aftermarket to their LE & buy them from that person!
