Widebody Prior Design SL + DPE Deep Concave SP-SC5 - Perfect
As we are a distributor for both brands, this is a double whammy post. This '05 SL has a full prior design conversion. It i also sporting a set of custom DPE SP-SC5 deep concave wheels adding some smooth lines and color to its beastly black exterior.
Let me know if you like the wheels and the body kit. Both are available through us.

DPE SC-5 or SC-7
I really like the look of these DPE SC-5's....the right combination of lip and concavity....the best of both worlds. I hope you don't mind if I add a few pics to this thread. I would like to do something with my SL65 and thought the 5 spoke where the perfect fit until I found the pictures of these SC-7's on this MB; mine is Steel Gray so it would be a close comparison. Now I am so confused? Thoughts anyone?

Personally, I like the 7-split spoke wheel better simply because the 5-split spoke has been done on so many applications already. The 7-split is just more unique. Keep in mind that all of the styles below can be done in deep concave:

Peter, I will have to give you a call sometime and find out exactly what is possible with these wheels on my 65. I think I am in agreement with you on the 7 spoke over the 5, but I just wanted to put some feelers out there in case I was missing something. If I understand correctly the lip width can be varied as well as the depth of the concavity on this wheel? If so, to what limits can I push things on a 20 inch wheel on the SL65 and what tire sizes would I be looking at.
