Best Looking Wheels for the R230 IMO
In my opinion these are 15 of the best looking wheels for the R230 SL
My personal favorite and the set i am going to put on my 55 after i buy it is the first set which are 20' replicas of the newer style AMG wheels

Thanks for posting all of these at once, very cool. I agree any classic 5 spoke IMO with deep lip looks great. The ISS and that white D2 forged are awesome, pictures dont do it justice. Also machine finish with shiny lip for me!

Great pics...for me (I'm a convert) I really like the 5 spoke look on the SL..whether it is concave or not. It is a clean and elegant look that is just sporty enough...

I agree, 5 spokes are sporty enough but also work well to keep that elegant look SLs are known for!

AMG Fan, isnt this your car? - I love your new wheels, much better than the branched set you had on before, can you please post a rear and rear quarter angle shot with that sick RDS CF diffuser and the new wheels?

Nemes1s - I didn't say they looked bad, i just prefer the 5 spokes on this car 
ANGFan - If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost for the rear bumper and diffuser, parts and install? Do you have any issues with scraping in driveways/dips with the extra length in the back? And your new set look like the AdvanceOne adv5.1 20"? what is the with front and back?

Jon, GFEAR, BOR, Havoc, and many others have shown that 5 spoke really pops on these cars, so many to choose from also from D2F, ISS, HRE to CCW, Fikse, Forgeline and Kenesis...I went with a split five spoke reminiscent of the SL65 sytle just lightweight one pc forged on a silver car...looks nice, is strong, and performance oriented at 19" size. I think that 10 spokes, 6 spokes, also look great...and lets not forget BBS CH or RE to name a couple!
