Thanks Everyone I'm loving the car.

We will be having a vote/poll here in about 2 weeks.

It'll be a "which rims look better" thread

Stay tuned

Looks great. Saw an SL65 at the dealer with the exact same int/ext color combo a while back. Just stunning!

I love that color combo for the exterior and will probably get the same w/ a different interior shortly.

Here is the run down on the car. All items listed are options.
What wheels you getting? aren't they 19" like off 65 but not smoked? Official MB way better than aftermarket, car is classy now but 20" chrome wheels could change that.
What bhp is she putting out?

The real question is; how badly have you misbehaved on the breakin period? Can't wait to see the wheels.

Thanks again, everyone

I've been really good... the LSD rear end break-in has kept me pretty easy.

Slipped up to 90 only a couple of times...
85 being top speed for break-in.

The car is so fast leaning on the throttle... I can't wait to start jumping it. I can tell the car is very very fast.

Ah... the wheels
Manufacturer did not drill the extra hole needed for the TPMS systems in all the 07 MB's now.
Had the rims 2 weeks before the car got here... and then...

Anyway, the Manufacturer was very helpful, but... they had to be shipped back. Not going to have for about 10+ more days. Just a bit bummed on that one. Was completely dialed in to have them on the car when I picked it up.

The car is awesome. I was a bit worried I was going to miss my cls55..

Hasn't happened. Not going to.

Does that SL65 front bumper come with the package you ordered the car with or was that aftermarket?

Wow how much does that option cost? Sounds like you may be better off just opting for the SL65...

It's around 14k$ I think from another post.
SL65 vs SL55?
SL55 + 14k$ is still significantly cheaper (comparing new vs new)
