NEW here with my SL55....tell me what you think :)
Hello,
I am new to MB and wanted to show my MBZ I picked up about a year ago 2005 SL55. It took me some time but after getting great reference from my friends I decided I wanted to get some wheels and lower it. I want to get a front spoiler if anyone knows please PM me where I can find.

Are there any meets in West Palm area? I heard something about Cars and Coffee in central Florida---can anyone send me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance
Tell me what you think as I picked up the wheels on Monday and got a free photoshoot today




Thanks ISS Forged team!!!

You've got the perfect car

One thing and may be its the pictures but is there anyway to coat your brake caliper to the same silver as the wheels? Now that would look amazing!
