Wow, great look. The wheels look darn good on the car. I'd prefer the lips to be polished or chrome but heck, why nitpick. Good job, nice car!

Thumbs up! Can't help myself but falling in love with black on black for SL55. I have always wish my SL were black....especially with the new AMG front bumper... It's just totally wicked.
