I was unable to wax my SL55 this weekend, however took it for a ride for several pic's to show the new 360 Forged wheels-Spec 5ive.
Hope you enjoy them.

Wash my SL55 and took several pic's.

why people want to lower the SL55 when we can have a look a like SL 4X4



more pics:





I will order the lowering links from www.adjustableairride.com and K-Mac camber kits for a precise alignment www.k-mac.com

Looks nice and tight...! Nothing like a newly detailed black car...it's a shame we got to drive it and get it dirty again...!

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)

Bro...shouldn't be too hard to powdercoat or paint your rims if you commit to the change.
