I personally haven't seen this picture but from the description they are looking a lot like the SLK wheels I saw long ago at the dealer when we were picking up our SL.

Your not mistaking pictures of the car you saw with this one are you?
I would hope the 2004 sport package does not come with those or these wheels.
In a perfect world the new 2004's would come with AMG styling IV's 2 piece.

IF they change the design, it will be a one piece 18" rim.
Mercedes actually surveyed dealers on the interest in the 19" rim before releasing the SL55 to the US market. I guess the fear of reducing ride comfort won out
I believe the current S/CL55 twin spoke Style IV rim would look very nice on the SL with one exception; I miss the staggered look from the older AMG wheels that have a slightly deeper dish in the rear. It just gives it a bit more muscular, but still refined look without being in your face...
