The perfect drop : Are those 19's or 20's ?
For me that's the perfect R230.

I just fell in love with it. That's a lowered SL600 on BBS LM's. Those pic are old, probably around 2005... in the early days of the R230 era...

I looked at it for one hour, but impossible to determine if the Wheels are 19 inches or 20 Inches.

What do you think ?

E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
More info for you...
those are 20's, and I cant quite make it out from the picture...but those may be the Inden design LM. They are made to Inden spec by BBS. If that's what you want, then that will be your only option, as BBS no longer offers the 20" LM for r230 (or any other Benz). Check them out at www.indendesign.com. They also have a Facebook page with lots of cool pix.

BTW, LM's seem to be discontinued. They don't appear anymore on BBS website.

Ronnie Rennaldi has 20 LM's repicas on his SL55 and they seem to be a lot bigger than those...

BBS doesn't make 20" wheels for SL anymore, I've searched everywhere

Mine was 20" Varrstoen, they look great:
