Great setup! Looks extremely sharp! Even more so with the black on chrome.

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??

I just noticed that it might be the SAME car! If you look at the reflection in the first car there is this yellowish thing with what appears to be blue lettering.. that must be the 1.99$ Cleaners!

I was wondering how long it took you guys to notice the 2 sets of wheels.

20"x9 and 20"x10 HRE 543R and 547R

Car is lowered. Might got a bit lower. No rubbing issues.

jl88: Your car looks AMAZING! I think that two set's of rims thing you have going on is pretty cool! LOL!

You must share how you got the SL55 tail lights on your car, is it a DIY project or did you have dealer? Also am i just wrong and it's a debadged SL55?

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.
