Nice I like the wheels and calipers (G get lost, be nice) I would mention lowering your ride but seeing that I dunno what your roads are like I wont. I was going to lower my sl55 but I live in NJ in a town with terrible pot holes the lowering wouldnt work for me thankfully im relocating soon just not sure where yet (looks like london within a year)
