SL
I like these rims a lot. Do you guys customize? I'd like the matte black machined with the spokes to match my matte-finish Shadow Grey Metallic SL. Let me know if this is possible. Thanks

Rims look great.

Car looks like someone hacked up an R230 SL and put a Chrysler front end on the car.

Everything forward of the A pillars on the new SL is a tragedy.

I don't understand those who obsess on the cars looks.

I guess everyone has their opinions, but after 11 years of driving an R230, I am over that design. It was a well balanced design with a lot of chocolate sides, but now it just looks aged against the new line-up...
