World Premier: Mercedes SL "NIGHT EDITION" -- First FACTORY made MATTE BLACK Benz
Hey guys... we recevied a call last week from Mercedes Benz of Coral Gables to put Vossen Wheels on the first SL550 NIGHT EDITION. It is the first Matte Black car ever produced by Mercedes Benz.

We installed a set of our brand new 20" Vossen VVS-CV1 (CONCAVE) and Pirelli tires. (wish they would have let us lower the car)

Size: 20x9 and 20x10.5
Finish: Matte Black Machined w/ stainless lip

By the way... car is still for sale. You can contact Ariel Manso at Mercedes Benz of Coral Gables for more info. His number is 305-460-6436

I saw a matte black Porsche Panamera a while back. It wasn't pretty (and not just because it was a Panamera)

wow
Its looks amazing!

I think those rims compliment the car very well

It really needs to be lowered though... that gap makes me sad

That is actually a nice set of wheels for the SL, really does match the color of the car. For once it isn't tacky.

Very nice set of wheels, do not like the exterior color of the SL. You're right, lower it a bit and it would be much better.

Nice wheels. Actually the 1st matte black on a benz was the SLR 772 which was showcased last year.
