The red SL is sexy, the wheels...not so much. I think it is just the chrome trim, otherwise they look pretty good.

It would be a pretty much bold deed to buy those rims..
They look nice, but on red SL... On black C6 they look horrible...
I think you shouldn't risk buying it for your gray SL..;]

Nice wheels but the combo just seems off. The wheels belong on another type of car.....F150, mustang, camaro etc...

I'd say they'll work on lighter/brighter colored, big and blocky cars. The chrome edges are just too much for a dark car, as the C6 shows, and the trim is so angular and bold it destroys the lines of any curvy car. So yeah, the SL is right on the edge of that. The Corvette looks like Frankenstein.

They'd probably look great on a Dodge, though.
