SL55 featuring D2FORGED VS4 Wheels

Hey guys, we recently installed a set of our wheels on a 2005 SL55, and wanted to share a few pics. We have another set coming for a CLS55 and when we mount those we'll be getting out with our photographer for professional shots.

The owner purchased a set of used VELLANO wheels, but they were off a SL500 and of course would not fit his car, so he was despondent by the time stumbled upon our site. We had just the "pick me up" that was needed with our VS4 wheel.

The medium width, tapered spoke, angular design and center line accent won him over. To top it off we finished them in our signature "BBC" finish, which includes Brushed Aluminum spoke face, Hi-Polished Windows, Full Clearcoat, and Chrome lip!

No fender modifications or cutting required.

WHEELS:

D2FORGED VS4
20x9.5" - 2.5" lip
20x11" - 4.0" lip
"BBC" FINISH: Brushed Alumium Spoke Face, Hi-Polished Windows, Full Clearcoat, Chrome Outer Lip.
Engraved Aluminum Centercaps - Hi-Polished Finish

Other Mods:

2" LOWERING
KLEMANN K2 UPGRADE

Please feel free to contact us for more info on these wheels, or for the D2FORGED Wheels Authorized Dealer nearest you!

I gotta say those wheels are gorgeous and go extremely well with the car. Simple, extremely clean and have a sport/class look.

For the love of photoshop. This is the reason we love our photograher, this was done with the pics that we took (no professional equipment)

The lowering is via RENNTECH lowering module, the spoiler I'll have to double check for you when I get into the office tomorrow.

Although with fully custom built wheels like these offsets are not given, we do guarantee fitment.
