SL 65 wheels on a 55?
l would like to get the SL 65 wheels (anthracite twin spoke) on a new 07 55. Dealer says MB won't build it like that. Sales guy is checking to see if he can do a swap. How much if anything should this cost me as an extra? I think the anthracite wheels are nicer looking than the chrome twin spokes. Thanks.

The 030 pp gets you the twin spoke wheels and they're nice but they look rather plain compared to the anthracite twin spokes found on the 65.
From the prices in this thread I'm starting to doubt my dealer will do an even swap for me, which is where I started with the salesman. He was probably just saying that to get my order going.

The so called anthracite wheels on the SL65 appear to be structurally identical to the 030 pp wheels on the 55, except they are greyish, what I would call an anodized look. I compared the two side by side on the two vehicles at the dealer. The sales guy now says it's $6000 more for these babies but he's willing to split the difference and I get to sell the originals.

The centers are just painted the dark grey color. If you can find the standard 030 wheels, get the centers painted.
