MB Factory 18" wheels for R231
Last year, on the MBUSA website, they showed these 18” wheels as being available for the SL450 or SL550 as "MB Genuine Accessories." Anyway, these are the wheels that I am requesting my dealer put on my incoming SL450 when it arrives.
I found this image showing them on a pre-face lift SL, so I thought I might post it. Why they don't just offer these wheels as a regular option is beyond me. Being a fan of smaller wheels/deeper sidewall tires, I try to stay with 18's for better ride
comfort and I'll be using non-run flat tires.

Going with 18-inch wheels is a smart choice Streamliner!...
There are some on-the-car images of genuine Mercedes-Benz 18-inch wheel options on the website that is linked below. Just click on the link to see all (3) of the 18-inch wheel options for the 231 and note there are multiple images for each one.
Below is a link to the 231 Accessories Brochure that Streamliner mentioned in the first Post above.
It shows 18-inch wheel options for the 231 that are available directly from Mercedes-Benz as accessory items, along with all the other MB 231 Accessories.
