My SL55
Some pictures of my 2007 SL55, I really like the ash interior, nice contrast, the Lorinser wheels give it a nice look, let me know your opinions on the wheels.

Looks good. I have been wanting to change my stock wheels, debating between 19" or 20". Are those 19's?

Very nice! I like the look. In no way is this meant to be negative but they would look great if they were larger too.

Front tire is 255/35ZR19, rear is 285/30ZR19, tires are Toyo Proxes T1R, I will need to look these up, I imagine these were not the stock tires

Any drawbacks to 19s on the car, probably more road noise?

19s were a no cost option.

We just tuned and lowered a SL600 with those wheels. I initially didn't like them, but they really grew on me.
