03' CL55 AMG
Well, i am not a member of the SL club like i thought i would be, i bought CL55 instead, i am a huge fan of 2 door benz' but it is hard for me to part with the rear seats right now for some odd reason

Anyway, i still plan on going with the 20" AMG Star wheels or those D2 Forged with the 65 color scheme here pretty soon

Color is Aegean Blue. Here's mine. I'd like to go to the 19" AMG five spokes, but afraid of wrecking the ride.

My contribution...



I joined these forums just to say that is the nicest SL Ive ever seen.

You think those wheels would look good on a silver SL500?

I'm sorry, but this is the most BAD *** Black SL I've seen. Hands down. Looks like you kick some *** and get laid back to back. This is seriously a violence and sex looking car.

Thanks! They are 20" EXE (brand) Flair...one piece cheapies...but they'll do for now. Lowered using links...only an 1 1/2, and the rear rides a little too rough for my taste. No more hot rodding around in the right lane!
