S320 - USD128,000

I am not saying people with decent living can afford SL55, but if it's selling at the same price as in USA (USD124,000), it will definitely become very common here, like a S320. You ll be surprised to see how many S class in Hong Kong.

The high price is not because of inflation, it's the import tax / automobile registration tax.

By the way, I am sorry about my English.
Just like here in Brazil... Would you believe if I say that here in Brazil we have to pay US$ 700.000,00 for a Murci Roadster? _ besides that...sorry about the non-related answer...

This is my 1st Post, so I hope the pict works.

Here is my 2004 SL55 with Maya-Maido 20x9 and 20x11 wheels. Photos were taken in the Canyons of Bel Air, Ca in 2005. If you remember the Andy Griffth Show, the begining of the show where ron howard tossed a rock into the lake. The photos were take by that lake.

Question: The rear wheels/tires seem to stick out quite a bit. Did you check for wheel well/quarter panel clearance? Just wondering....

thanks, they are Iforged essens. 20x9 w/ 3.5 lips and 20x11 with 4.5" lips offset is pretty aggresive but no rubbing even after lowering. HRE's are over priced. mirror silver with polished lips, i just ordered another set in brushed centers with chrome lips, so these will be for sale in a month for 3g's, they're a 6 weeks old.

some german company, they are solid metal, not plastic. can be purchased on performanceproducts.com for $1000 or send your core in for an additional 150 discount. talk to daniel he's pretty cool about giving 10-15% off.

now if i can only find a projectkahn hood here in the US i would almost have this car finished.

They look great. Can you please post a direct link to the product at performanceproducts.com? I browsed their site, but didn't find the fins.

Those wheels are nice. Do 19s come with the 030 or do they come on the stock 55? Great car. In 700 or so miles you can see what the 030 speed limiter feels like. Huh?
