Concave wheels for 2003 Silver SL55
Car is arriving today.
Bought tires last night 305/25/20 for rear and 255/35/20 for fronts (read those sizes fit well on a few other threads).

Anyhow....

I came to the conclusion I want a matte graphite (gunmetal) color concave wheel, and I also want single spoke (like a vossen cv3).

What are my other options?
Vossens seem to be 2-$2500 for the latter.
What other options are out there, links would help.

Why a 35 profile for the front?

As opposed to what 30?
I went with what I read on several threads as well as it was the tire rack recommended sizes for 20".

Those Vossens are one of my favorites. They fit the styling of the SL perfectly.
