Parked Wide :) Few Pix
Here are a few pictures of my last photo shoot done by Mike Stern here in Chicago. I wanted to share with you guys before this will go up somewhere on the web. Just a few pix more to come when they are posted

By far the best done silver SL55 I have seen. I'd prefer some 5 spoke rims with a slightly less aggressive offset...but that's just nitpicking.

Love the whole look of your car - the lowered stance, the wheels, just about everything. Why such a large gap between the bead of the tires and the outer edge of the rim? It looks like the tires are too small and were stretched out. Having the outer edge exposed, are you not concerned with damaging the wheels?

Kamil the car looks good overall...but those wheels and tires stick out a bit too far for my taste ...this is the technic look that a lot of VW and sport compact guys and tuners go after in Europe...it's popular there, but I never really understood it, it's not improving the car in fact it's a comprimised setup in terms of contact patch and lateral grip.... but to me a little bit of aggressiveness offset is ok but i like them pushed out and flush or very very slightly poking out wit the tire tucking in....either way you like it and that's all that counts, and overall I think it's a nice looking car, love the styling ques and low ride as well... if you drove this car in Europe they would LOVE it, either that or in the barrio in East LA lol
