I'm just happy the biggest Mod $$$ wise is out of the way. I have to have this car track ready by mid October when it officially cools off. Its going to be a busy few months in the MBH/DC work shop.

We weighed the stockers vs the HRE's I can't remember what the fronts weighed, but we saved 1lb up front on each wheel. The rear wheels, HRE and stock weighed 60lbs with tires. But adding 2 more inches of wheel along with a 305 rear tire, sounds better to me.
I dove about 35 miles on them to my house. I couldn't event tell they were on there, so Ride quality was just as nice as the stock wheels... So far

well done. split 5 or 6, 7, 8 on the SL is like melted butta on bread!
Now make sure you have a something to clean inside the spokes like a boars hair long brush
...on polished wheels it can be more of a chore than cleared centers though

At the shop there was always one of these wheels on display. I told Rich, Owner of DC, I wanted those wheels. He made phone call to HRE, and it just so happened they had a set for the SL55 in stock. It was just a matter of freeing the money up to dump in a set of wheels.

We dont go to the Pavilions, but I've been there once. Rich the owner of DC, my brother who has a CLS55, and myself hang out a lot. You can find us On Friday and Saturday night. Anywhere from Old Town to North Scottsdale as long as the place isn't to snobby.

HRE's are some nice wheels I have 547R's on my corvette. If you like the 547's or the 547R's, FWIW, A company called CCW Wheels (down here in FL) has a nice light wheel that looks Exactly like the the 547 but without the studs, which actually make it easier to clean. Owner is John and he is a class act.

CCW wheels on an SL ...look at my sig lol CCW is a great lightweight forged wheel which looks great and offers perfromance. I have 8.5 F and 10.5 R which is optimal for plus sizing and performance.
