Need ur advice so please post ur pics

Hello to all, currently I'm in the market again for 20" wheels for my SL and as usual I get dumb founded in deciding which wheel will serve just right. I'm thinking a 5 star wheel would look better with a polished Lip and hyper silver in the face of the wheel, I kinda want to get away from the whole chrome look. So what do you all suggest, I drive a Diamond Silver SL with chrome gill vents on both the hood and fenders?

Decide on a spoke design that is easy to keep clean.

Thanks, those are nice, I would prefer the open center cap look with the five lug nuts exposed as opposed to the covered center cap though.

Those are nice, I have been looking at the Mandrus Stuttgart's which are slightly similar, but they have the rivets (buttons) around the inner wheel.

What do you all think about this wheel? 20" x 11" (rear) and 20" x 9" (front) silver with chrome lip.

OK Brother, but what do you think about the Mandrus Stuttgart's? I really value opinions, especially yours.

This model have rivets inside. It is 3 piece wheels I went with this because it does not show the rivets, It is kind of hard to clean the rivets .
I am lazy

MAYA MRS 20"

Here is mine with MRS Maya 20" Wheels (Anthracite). I used them for a day and am now selling them with Continental tires. I preferred the 19" AMG Wheel OEM look. Let me know if you are interested in buying these. $3500 w/Tires.

MANDRUS is the way to go. FTW!!!...although, I am somewhat biased
Have you looked into any wheels from WEDS? (kranze particularly)
AutoCouture?
Have you seen the SL500 that SoniMS did up over on myMB?
ViP style wheels look good on the SL too.
Funny you asked about the MANDRUSstuttgats...thats the wheel that immediately popped into my head, then I read on. You have good taste. I was gonna go for thos, but the MANDRUSemils won my vote for my ride.
Best of luck

I know they have more than 5 spokes, but these are really light weight and stylish wheels.

Just let me know, good luck with your search.
