sl500 Wheels

are these a good deal? I dont know about the brand of wheels and if the Falken tires make a lot of noise. I like the look of 20's but are they more trouble then they are worth?
thanks

The brand of the wheels look like a replica of the actual AMG ones.
Are they a good deal.... Honestly, if it is 2k+ for those, I am pretty sure you can get something that looks better than that.
I am on 20s and they don't give me ride or noise problem... I would highly suggest you to go 20s as they improve the look tenfold!

Shop around for other rims is my advice. For example, rims such as forgestar looks good and is within your budget.
