AMG
you're right, that never really crossed my mind..

But I love the race gold just as much.. I'll keep a lookout for black wheels if I can find a good deal on em

E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
Old guy says...

great looking wheel design, would like them better in silver. I kniw, I don't know anything.
And there's no doubt it has to come down. I think it must be in the full up position there.
Really nice though. Glad you didn't get burned by 360, looks like you are one of the lucky ones.

How about adding the single fin grill?

Single fin grill and lip spoiler already installed, haven't take recent pic's.
Once I wash & detail the SL will take new pic's.
Price for the wheels was $980 plus 200 to be painted = $1180

Rick, did you end up going with the camber kit from KMAC? I haven't lowered my SL yet (plan to shortly, already have the links) but I am curious if I would need the camber kit if I lowered about and 1" or maybe a tiny bit more?

front K-MAC being installed months ago, car was aligned.
rear K-MAC haven't being installed yet, plan to be installed this month with AMS crank pulley.

I haven't lowered my SL, you better ask www.adjustableairride.com to find out or aligment shop/dealer.

Pic's of my SL55 with single fin grill, lip spoiler and 360 wheels.
My SL55 need at DEEP & FULL paint detailing. This is my daily driving car-between 550-600 miles per week.

I bought a complete detailing kit with a FLEX polisher, but have to re-practice with my other cars prior to do it on my SL55.
