Wrong Wheels ?

It seems I have the only SL63 R231 with 19 inch rims front and 20 inch rims at the rear. If you have a new SL63 what do you have. In my manual they
are described as light alloy wheels, perhaps there an extra.

SL63
You have the black 10 spoke wheels on your car. Those are optional and staggered 19" front and 20" rear. The standard wheels are 19" front and back. So all is normal with your car.

19-inch front/20-inch rear AMG 10-spoke alloy wheels (Black)
The staggered-size 19-inch front and 20-inch rear AMG 10-spoke forged-alloy wheels are also available in a menacing Black finish. Whether at rest or in motion, the darkened spokes and center caps offers a most enticing view of the brake hardware lurking behind them, while a pencil-thin silver outermost perimeter sets off the low-profile high-performance tires.
