SL65, 427 COBRA (CSX-3127)73 911S, 246GTS (DINO SPYDER), CORNICHE,1962 PORSCHE TWIN GRILLE ROADSTER+
The fronts come as 25 Offset (ET) and also 28mm The rears were 30mm
From memory ...
The fronts come as 25 Offset (ET) and also 28mm The rears were around 30-32mm...
If you have 19 inch two piece wheels with 44mm-60mm ET those are SEL wheels.
The SL65 and 030 SL55 and some CL wheels have the center recessed about 3/4 inch where the SEL wheels the centers are flush with the rim.

New SL63 or Ferrari - Porsche
I took my new SL63 for a long drive at the weekend. You begin to realise this
is not a comfortable GT cruiser. The ride is quite firm, more so than any SL I
have been in, even on comfort it's firm. The seats are excellent , and they
need to be, and very adjustable. Then it hits you, it is nothing like an SL to
drive, so I started putting it through it's paces, wow !! she hangs on round
corners at amazing speeds, I would never push that hard on previous, even
my wife noticed how incredibly it cornered. The whole car comes alive, and
more akin to driving a Porsche or Ferrari, in fact I think MB are getting fed
up with reviewers who always say the SL is all power and little else. OK on corners Ferrari and Porsche will still be quicker but the new 63 wont be far behind. So if your looking for a comfy cruiser don't bother, if your looking for
fun and maybe shorter journeys the new SL63 is perfect.
