AMG 19" Rims on SL55

Has anyone here got 19 AMG ‘split spoke’ styling IV rims on their SL55?

What is the ride like, any other pros or cons please?

Graham.

My cam is out of order at the moment which is why I have not posted pics or reports as yet but I will do soon.

I'm not sure that you will see the diff between silver arrow and bril silver on a pic but you may do.

Graham,

I saw an SL500 with diamond silver (Silver Arrow) in the showroom last week. I immediately changed my SL55 order from brilliant silver to this color. It is slightly brighter with a very subtle blue tinge, especially in bright light. You really have to see it for yourself. I would not recommend buying a car in a color I hadn't seen on that particular car.

Silver Arrow code 777 is not the same as diamond silver.

Silver arrow has no blue tint at all.

The best description I can give you is a more brilliant silver than brilliant silver.

It has slightly more metallic sparkle than bril silver.

Bril silver looks slightly yellow next to silver arrow silver.

Graham.

My dealer told me it was the same as Silver Arrow.

I have not seen Silver Arrow available in the brochure.

I had diamond silver on my 2003 Sl500 sport, great color. I sold it to Dale in Hilton Head Island.

I am trying to get 777 silver arrow on my SL55 but not having much luck yet.

If you are in the sun alot Diamond Silver is great, but in cleveland its cloudy many days and it takes on a light blue in the haze.

I am going with silver arrow or brillant silver if I can not get silver arrow.

I have many pics of brilliant silver next to diamond silver I can email them if you want.

I had many compliments on the diamond silver , just do not know if its tough enough for an AMG
