MBWorld Fanatic!
The Tire Rack carries the 20" replicas of the 19" OEM SL65 wheels in both silver and bright satin.
They are called SportEdition ST4.
I believe their current stock is as follows:
Silver - 20x8.5 et44, 20x9.5 et46 - these are in stock, but will not fit SL without 10-15mm spacers.
Satin - (20x8.5 et32 - NA), 20x9.5 et36.
Call them (I "use" Luke @362 exclusively) to get ETA on when (or if) they will get a new stock. They're only under $800 a set.

guys, thanks for the replies. I'll check out your recommendations.
My strategy is to keep my 19" OEM fronts and replace rears with 20" OEM wheels with widest possible tires without making mods to my fenders. This assumes the 20" replica's would be identical match to the OEM's.
Do you think 19" fronts and 20" rears will orient the car at a bad angle? I like a slightly raked look where front end is slightly lower than rear end but I don't like the opposite look.
