Help me choose which wheels
I can either get this set. Im not sure if I want 20's! as well as all the offsets? What do you guys think?

Alternatively I can get my hands on a set of the dark sl65 wheels with tyres at a decent price.
Any serious suggestions.. obviously OEM must be better ? These 20" wheels make the car look very high up? or is that my imagination ?

the car can be lowered with a ELM. I also wouldnt get thoes rims who makes them I have seen rims that just cracked in half. Its not nice. you have a nice car get nice rims or leave it stock. 360 forged are very nice IMO and there is always HREs.

i actually like those rims you posted. yes there are rims out there with better quality and alot more expensive, for the price, those wheels are great.
also check out classified, i have a set of wheels for sale that will fit the SL.

I was a bit worried about the sizes BUT i found out that the brabus 20's they stick on SL's are exactly the same size!
I can get hold of either and Im really stuck as to which ones to get.. I like the dish on the 20's and the fact that they are not the same as everyone elses but Im also one for making sure Ive got the "RIGHT" stuff.
If they are crappy wheels I will most likely get or stick to the 19's
Its a difficult choice!

I have these "e-bay" rims on my SL55 - 03 and it works fine but the are heavy. The quality have been good so far (12000 km). I dont think 305/25x20works so good on a 10" rim. I choose 245/35x20, 285/30x20 (gives a better ride) alt. 255/30x20, 295/25x20. I have 10 mm spacers on the rear wheels which gives a better look.

Does anyone know how much the original 18" or 19" amgs weigh?
Thanks
