Help on wheel style for the SL

Hi, if I can get some of your opinions on which style looks better on the SL?

The wife likes VS5 (10 spoke) but I like the five star CV2, either one will be brushed centers with chrome lip. Which will look better for the SL? TIA

07' SL65, 04' E55, 03' Evo8, 08' GSXR, DSM's...

I think both of those styles would look pretty nice.

I don't think you could go wrong with either. What color is the SL?

Since it is Mars Red, I'm with your wife on this one. Mars Red and White are my two favorite colors for the R230.

VS5 !! They have a similar design to Ronnie Rennaldi's radenergie Wheels. His Mars Red SL looks sick.

100% Agree with your wife

I think you'll like the ten-spoke. Here is mine - I used to have the OEM AMG five-spoke wheels and I just put on new Mandrus polished wheels. I like them both, but the ten-spoke just seemed to fit the body style so well.
