E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
They look nice....although the ride height..
has got to be dealt with. But I have to say, an AMG 55 is a car that I don't think can be improved with most aftermarket wheels. I know the AMG wheel stuff is not big enough, but that's a car that really needs something special, or stick with stock. I understand how it is, sometimes you just want a different look. But I don't think the Chinese stuff is the way to go on a car that can go 175 mph...But they do look nice. Gotta get it down though!

Old Wheels
FYI everyone, the wheels on the before pictures were not stock nor OEM, they were after market wheels as well. Mercedes never made a 20" wheel with a lip like the before picture has, the before is also a replica....

20 inch rims. Having said that I still prefer the replicas of the 65 wheel.

Thanks everyone
Thank you everyone for your input, the after wheels are a replica of the new SL65 and SL63 wheels, check them out on the MBZ web site. You will see more of these soon. The new wheels feel 100% better on the road than my before (old) replica SL 55 TSW's.....

The new ones are much nicer, they have the SL63 look and these pictures don’t do those Justus. I have gotten many compliments on the new ones over the old TSW replicas I had before. Everyone is just use to seeing that stock look that the TSW’s give.
