If your going to get SL65 Type AMG wheels make sure they are real.

The Knock Off`s others have bought are cheap imitations.

Whats the sense of having an AMG SL55 with cheap knock
off wheels ?

I dont hate good looking cars or there owners.

Just dislike people that put FAKE AMG equipment on AMG`s
Then casually claim its "AMG"

I would not want those wheels on my car at high speed when they
decide to fail. You get what you pay for.
And a 4000 lb car on knockoff wheels made in China. Lets spend the money where it counts the most. Safety.

To the OP. Dont do it.

Who has the fake wheels, I'm nor sure. Everyone thanks for the pics, I like the Vorsteiner, does anyone have pricing? just for comparison from my tire vendor.

Ive already taken my car up too 300+ km on the hi way with these SEXY wheels , not a single wobble. The complements i get all the time with these badboyz is flattering .....Also these arent the CHEAP brand by the way. ur thinking of the TSW (n) those are made in CHINA . Mine are made in Germany and very strong also comes with CHROME. which the others dont come in and the are much wider then then cheap ones. so ya ....

dont argue over something i OWN and u DONT ... stick too ur little ugly painted wheels . now thats GHETTO .

I think they are around 3900 for the set ... give a take a few 100 dollars.

FYI:
The G_Kats guy owns the knockoffs.
Real AMG type SL Wheels are limited to 19 Inchs.
And yes. Mine are real.

He has had his 03SL55 a few weeks now and is our new resident "Expert" in all things AMG SL55 Related.

I dont see that its cross drilled out either. Either someone has put SL500
rotors on his car OR ?

We may have a poser in our midst.

I think its the angle and the hat that is resembling the rotor.

Nope. It's an AMG rotor alright.

Your right Vic.
I didnt think about the hat that might be reflecting in his setup.
