I'm torn, car in white alone is awesome( style of whls too) tho 20" wheels would/is perfect on this model it's a PERF DEMON why on earth put boulevard SL500 21's on the rear? 1) it's retarding fact gear ratio 2)the side wall center section of /20/ is laughable ZERO traction Will ever be attained it's literally like rubber bands/skate board wheels...

As other poster said "Ant will bend these rear wheels" let-alone an average pot-hole

There is still 2.95" of sidewall on those tires. Not bad at all considering many with 255/30r19s and even 275/30r19s are just about the same amount of sidewall.

ive never replied to one of your posts, but come on man. thats bull**** and you know it.

you are not rich.

if you were rich you would not have been hunting for the cheapest 2003 SL55 that you could find 7 months ago, and don't say its because you don't like to waste money... then why the hell do you have a $32K rolex?

I know rich people who spend their money and some who don't. They wear 100 dollars worth of clothes and buy 200 dollar bottles of wine. One of the wealthiest men I have met drive a Chevette. The other drives a Maserati, wears custom tailored suits and yes has a gold rolex.
