Wheel Poll - DPE 20" Shallow Concave vs. Superconcave

Hello all, I'd love your opinion on possible wheel fitment.

I'm looking to do DPE 3 piece forged 20" wheels, but debating the look on the SL65 of either the "Super" concave set versus the "Shallow" concave set, which maintains some outer lip.

Please vote and comment, as I'm really on the fence here.

Also debating to go with or without the silver, outermost rim of the lip with or without a silver pinstripe (to tie into last remaining silver accents/badges on car).

Wheel model (Split 5 spoke) and finish (Gloss black lip with matte center - or considering gunmetal, but dark contrast center basically) are fixed choices.

Oh my god. You just sold me on those wheels and I was trying to stay away from rims on my SL55. Those things look PHENOMENAL - almost like something you would see on a concept car - the rear concave is so beautiful. I am definitely considering these in matte black from my car now. But definitely go for those - they flow so beautifully and will suit a mercedes far better then that porsche.

Thank you for the post!

Always glad to help Email my buddy Manu at DPE wheels ( manu@dpe-wheels.com ) and tell him Adam Myers with the SL65 sent you. Better not beat me to the punch here :p

I love them both, but just having a hard time giving up the outer lip completely.

Please keep the opinions coming.

Super Concave is the way to go. The SP-SC 5 or the NEW sp-sc7 would be ideal on your car. My SP-SCR10 should be here soon, very excited
