Will SL55 Wheels fit SL65

I have an 06 SL65 with the stock 2 piece brakes and stock 19" wheels. I have a set of 18" SL55 wheels, they are the 22 spoke turbine wheels. Will they clear the brakes and work on my SL65 as spares? I know the brakes on my 65 are different than on the SL55.

Unfortunately that won't work for you. It takes a 19" wheel to clear the SL65's larger rotors (390mm for the SL65 versus 360mm for the SL55).

SL600 OEM rotors are same size as the SL55 (360mm) so you should be good to go with that one.

I have a set of 22 spoke SL55 wheels with good michelin tires for sale if someone wants them. I live in Atlanta. The wheels are straight and true and undamaged.

Please post pix, I could swear they only come in 9.5" rears, though I've seen aftermarket reps in 10" why would you chrome them??? If there real oem 2 piece 65 wheels they are perfect in gun metal...

SL65 10X19 AMG ORIGINAL MERCEDES 2 PIECE WHEELS

RICKER...
DO YOUR HOMEWORK...

THERE ARE SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR SL65 19 INCH 2 PIECE WHEELS. THE SAME 19 INCH WHEELS WERE ALSO USED ON THE 030 PACKAGE FOR THE SL55. THE OPTIONS INCLUDE A 10 INCH REAR WHEEL WITH AN OFFSET OF 28 MM. (PART NUMBER A230-400-0202).

THE 19 INCH AMG WHEELS ALSO CAME IN BOTH THE TITANIUM GREY FINISH AND IN A SILVER FINISH. THE ORIGINAL AMG WHEELS WERE ALSO MADE IN BOTH GERMANY AND IN ITALY. THE GERMAN WHEELS ARE BBS(?) THE ITALIAN WHEELS ARE MADE BY CHROMODORA, THE SAME COMPANY THAT MAKE FERRARI WHEELS.

I HAVE THE ORIGINAL MERCEDES BOX AND HAVE SPOKEN DIRECTLY WITH AMG GERMANY FOR CONFORMATION ABOUT THE ITALIAN MADE WHEELS.. PLUS IF YOU GO TO CHROMODORA WEBSITE THEY SHOW AS BEING A SUPPLIER TO MERCEDES AMG.

THE OTHER 19 INCH AMG WHEELS FOR THE CL65, S65 ETC LOOK IDENTICAL TO SL65 WHEELS BUT HAVE A DIFFERENT OFFSET. THEY SHOULD ALL FIT ANY R230 BUT THE SL65 WHEEL HAS THE WIDEST OFFSET BY A FEW MM.

THE CHROME WHEELS THAT I HAVE FOR SALE ARE 19X10 AND 19X8.5 GERMAN WHEELS AND WERE CHROMED WHEN I BOUGHT THEM. I WAS GOING TO USE THEM FOR TRACK TIRES BUT FOUND A SET OF SILVER FINISH WITH TIRES.

I DO NOT NEED 3 SETS OF SL65 WHEELS..

SO I OFFER ONE SET FOR SALE.

Thanks for the kind words. It's my good fortune that Fr33kn63 shot and posted digital videos of the MIR runs. All I had to do was to copy and save an 80x80 pixel box around the timing clock.

It looks like I need a set of spare wheels for my Sl65. I so want the gunmetal grey ones so that I can substitute them on my car individually.
