trade 20" wheels for 19"
I just got a 2003 SL55 and love it but I would like to get a set of original 19" wheels. Anyone want to trade?

Those look like the 19 inch wheels. I think the 03 Sl55 should have 18 inch wheels.

I did just check and they are 20". Here is a better picture of the rear.

I beleive those are aftermarket wheels that were installed from the dealer. Also, they are not AMG. Still looks nice though

Those wheels look great,I wouldn't trade them for the original 55 wheels. If that is what you want though, there are tons of them on ebay.

I love the looks of the wheel I just don't like the ride. I was told there is a similar wheel that is 19" which is what I'm looking for but I will look on ebay.
Thanks

I got you now. You are talking about the AMG optional wheel on the 05's. It looks like my 65 wheel only all one color. That will be a better ride indeed. I thought you were talking about the original 5 spoke or multispoke wheels that came with the car in 03. Still, they can be found on ebay or tire rack.
Good luck!

Yeah it did take me a while to find a wheel I liked. I will say I like the ride better with the 19's and I will put the wheels in the classified.
