What do you guys think of Dalar rims on the SL55?

hey guys, could i get some input on what you guys think of these rims on this car? i know they start off ugly... i thought so, too. but they're kinda growin on me and i'm really starting to like them now. kinda.. modern, futuristic, concept-ish, batmanny?! yes no? thanks.




and here are some more pics of the wheels on other cars. THANKS!








be as blunt and honest as you'd like. haven't gotten em yet, so it's all good.

Hi Pinto,
to be honest,the wheels do not do the sl any favors at all.
there are so many wheels out there that suit the,if i were you,i would keep looking,
these wheels just look totally out of place on an sl imho.
At the end of the day,you should buy what you like,if you like something,well thats all that matters,but i do not think these rims will go down well with 99% of sl owners.

happy motoring bc brit

Don't like those at all. A million other wheel options for an SL that will look a lot better IMHO.

Well, so far it doesn't look like you've won any members over with those wheels. We'll skip the "ghetto" comment and just say that it doesn't give the SL the classy elegant and wicked cool look that we think you're after.

At the end of the day, if you seem them on a Dodge and a Mazda, they aren't the right wheels...

I am glad that you asked for other opinions, because those wheels look like crap, you don't want your SL looking like a run away bumper car from the circus dude. I hope you didn't buy them already.

I think they're too ricer.

I got SL63 wheels in 18" with Pzeros for my SL55. But im in india and more rubber so you could try 19".

Both options would be south of 1500 USD

The idea is to get wheels that ADD to the lines of the car. Those fugly wheels take your eyes off the car and then you say WTF.
Great for the Ghetto. But not for the SL.

I disagree with ya there Sean. I personally think the single-colored wheels look infinitely better then the P. Diddy wheels the OP posted. Still wouldn't trade either for the Rads buuuuuuuut... well, they're different.
