From Scandinavia with love

So this is the proverbial enhanced d**k competition. Well, might as well join

This is the SL 55 AMG, but hopefully I still qualify. ($130k)

I wonder if people actually read even half the posts..

Yes, 20" fits easily, no rubbing (if correct offset). I have 20x9 front and 20x10 in the rear. Could easily have fit 20x9.5 in the front and 20x11 in the rear.

anyways, gratuitous car shot coming
