2003 SL 500
Is it the same car in the pictures ...... Cuz if it is, it's a bit unusual to have different rims setup on each side .....
What is the specs of the wheels you are running???? tyres??

Definitely a SL500 and it look like it's used for shows? with the two sets of wheels. Don' care much for the Brabus front bumper though...
Using different size wheels may also results in slighty different outside tire diameters that could interfere with the ASR/ESP settings and continously try to put the brakes on on one side, trying to stop a perceived spin.

20"x9 and 20"x10 HRE 543R and 547R
Car is lowered. Might got a bit lower. No rubbing issues.

Looks great
Wanna sell one of those sets of HRE's? Can you show pics of the interior too?
