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

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.

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.

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.
