2009 SL63 (Looking for Wheels)

First time poster, long time Mercedes owner...

I have a 2009 SIlver Arrow Launch Addition SL63 and looking to put some wheels on this...

Any suggestions?

I have an 09 G55 with 22'CEC wheels and I really don't like CEC Wheels...

I have had Lowenhart, HRE, CEC's etc etc... Bent Lowenharts, CEC suck (my opinion, G55 wheels are flaking, Bentley CEC wheels cracked) HRE have been good...

What size do you guys suggest? I don't want to kill the ride...

I have a set of iForged 20" wheels with the color match centers and polished lips on my sl55 and have a set of HRE 547 wheels on my corvette. I love them both.

What do you guys suggest?

SL63 Silver Arrow (Launch Addition) As you know, Silver with Red interior.

Was thinking 20's? brushed?
20's black?

Renntech has a good modern looking set for 63's. COR has some good ones and they are good quality. I like my Brabus.
Whatever you get, paint the centers silver and leave the lips chrome.

Vellano Forged Wheels, have 2 sets. I personally like the Vellanos over the HRE's (had 2 sets of those). The wheel is made stronger and they will do any combo you want.
