Very very beautiful machine...My vehicle is up there as well...When I get my new 19's put on, it is going to look even more classier...I dont know why I don't want 20's, its probably the same reason why you don't see 20's on porche's either...I like brabus wheels, but I feel there are better 3 piece wheels you can buy that are far better quality...At any rate, congrats to you on your vehicle and take care of that beauty...ShyneSL

The reason you don't see 20's on porsche's is because they won't fit..

Anyways, stick with 19's if you prefer ride comfort. You can fit a 40 profile tire with a 19" wheel no problem..

The ride on 20's is very stiff.. but aesthetically, it is the only way to go..

Brabus wheels will always be classy.. of course, there will always be your local rap artists/athletes that will put ugly a$$ chromed-out wheels on nice german cars. Stay away from Lowenhart. Even tho it might be a japanese wheel, the LD-5 style is so whored out.

How can you put down the Lowenharts??? In my opinion, I feel that Japanese wheels are far more superior in looks and most importantly technology...Lorinser, BBS, and Brabus are worn out...I would rather have some nice work rezax II's over bbs wheels...With the SL its important to stick with a nice 3 piece 5 star pattern such as my LS1's...Mesh would look very spectacular on the new CLK500...Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I feel like the benz wheel tuners need to tighten up...ShyneSL

Brabus Monoblock VI

Are these the silver or chrome Monoblock VI's? Also, where is the best place to order them from in terms of price and reliability?

Thanks!
