That was rude.. I strongly doubt rednecks would purchase an SL65..

Tony, dont worry, youll just have to get used to jealous haters when u drive a nice car like that


edit: besides, what the heck r u doing in the R230 AMG section with a E320?

Saw that car on Autotrader. Not feeling the wheels, but white looks good on the 65.

Enjoy.

well I bought the car for my fiancee she was the one giving the key to the delivery guy. we are planning to paint the wheels and smoke the lights so I will get some pictures of it when it gets done. Also It needs new tires so yes we will be making a burnout video shortly. Oh and we are not redneck thats was us red man call the white man just to clear things up.

Please share more info about the car .... I'm jealous. I've been forced to looking for a pre-owned white '07 or '08 SL55 w/P30 option because I missed the new '08 custom-order date by a few weeks at my dealership a while back.

I would also have gone with a new '08 SL65 in white if MBZ dealerships had any in-stock available (no such luck for me).

Tony, I will hate you if you tell me that was a nearly-new '08 on the video .....

Awesome looking SL65, but who's idea was it to put 22'' chrome rims on it? I don't even want to think about what they will do to the car's performance

I agree.
The 20`s are a bit much on a SL AMG. But just a matter of taste.

The stock SL65 Wheels are just fine for me.

Otherwise congratualtions on the new ride. Enjoy

I thought you have more tire problems with the 20"s (flats) and also bent wheels. I figured 19's were bad enough. I like 18's for this reason.

Ive had 3 sets of 20's on my SL's and never had any bends or flats. I think your rims would looks sick with a polished face and chrome lip.
