2003 SL 500
TS-6 Rims ...

Hi all ... I've been reading this forum for a while now .... Lazy poster though ...

Anyways, I'm really interested in buying the Kleemann TS-6 rims for my SL .... I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of hose rims on a black SL ..... Preferably the 20" rims ....

If not black then any pics other than the ones of the yellow SL55 .....

Thanx in advance ....

The 19" is available now. I have access to the first two sets in North America. The 20" has to be special ordered from Denmark. Please shoot me an e-mail if you are interested. I hope I can make a Photoshopped black SL for you.

I'm just waiting for pictures of some TS6 rims at a straight side angle, then I will photoshop them onto my dads car for you. He has a black R230.

Really??? I've already seen them on a SL55K here in Bahrain .... And when I asked the MB dealer here (Supplier of all aftermarket stuff for MB too!!! ) the Guy there told me they only fit 20's on the new SL (Brabus, carlson, lorinser ... etc) So the new "Six spoke" as he named it is also in the 20" form .....

So far I've got the front and rear bumpers + exhaist set up ... All Kleemann, but those stock rims just ruins the whole look ....

Vraa - I've seen plenty on shots of the TS-6 on the yellow SL55K laying around the net, all sorts of angles ... Maybe you could use those to photoshop it on a black SL ....

Thank you ..

Well, the TS-6 has been available in Germany/Europe for a while already. Its North America that is ALWAYS the slowest continent to receive any new stuff.

I'm not really that good, but I have only seen shots of at the Essen show straight from Evosport themselves. I'll start buggin some of my friends for better pictures however. The only reason I can't take angle shots is because, as I stated before, I'm just a beginner at Photoshop.

I think my mind is almost made on these rims ..... With the price tag, I was tempted to get some HRE's .... But now I think I'll stick with kleemann since I got the body kit ....

Checked there status, still on back order .... will get you guys some pics once they're here and on ...

I think you've got the rim on the wrong side of the car (per the Kleemann guy) and need to rotate the rim 180° to make it look right. Nice rims indeed.
