SLR rims are nice but there are too many knockoffs out there to notice real ones. I think Lorinser makes a set that are similar to SLR but have a little different feature, you may like to check those out as well...

*Edit.. Just found through another thread that you sold your AMG 2 piece split-spoke wheels.
Did you go with the SLR or another type of wheel?

Personnally I prefer the stock 65 wheel. However these seem to vary, minehave very dark centres which I like, and yet I have seen them almost all
silver.

On the fence on which look I like better?...
The stock SL65 Wheels or the SLR wheels... Both are 19 inch with the same tires.
It took a lot of experimenting and then machining of special parts to make the SLR wheels fit but they are on my SL65...
The up side for the SLR wheels is they are wider in the rear (11.5 inches)by 1.5 inches and .5 inch up front... With the wider rears I have better traction so less wheel spin and the car hooks up without the Traction Control kicking in all of the time!
Plus the front SLR wheels are also lighter so the car does handle and drive better...
Please voice your opinions... Flame away!
Thanks
