Pics after a wash...
It was raining so I couldn't get decent pics outside. I really like the wheels...
...especially in motion and at night! The paint is in ok condition from a distance but it needs a detail badly...going in for a detail by Presidential Detail (in Tampa) for a complete removal of the orange peel and the micro scratches in the paint.
I'm sure he will post pics on the sight on the before and after...

That looks totally badass bro... mean!
And whoa... that's what the rear brakes on the SL65 AMG look like? Totally different than the CL65 and the S65 eh?

I see you went w/Blk lugs too! I didn't ask my painter to do mine but glad he did after I saw it.

Next set I'll go w/ either 245 or 255 up front (the 255 seems to work well on your 8.5" rim) and either 295 or 305 in the rear (295 is ideal for a 10.5" rim but I see a nice fit w/ an ever so slight sidewall stretch with your 305 michelins on the 11" so maybe they will work on a 10.5" wheel)...any idea?

looks great!!! John did an 19x8.5" front, 19x10.5" rears for me...currently I'm running 245/35-19 F, and 285/30-19 R since I had already bought the tires and planed to go slightly wider in the future we went with this setup for a bit less weight and to give me some range in tire widths/sizes

Looks real clean. You must spend a lot of time in your garage. I noticed that you have a tv in there. Any particular reason you went with the 19's up front instead of 20's??
