Need help identifying these 20" wheels
Can anybody help me figure out what kind of wheels these are on the SL55 I just bought? A previous owner installed them. They appear to be new. Thanks!

Ditto, They look like the Rodericks to me too.

Well, I do get a lot of compliments on the wheels. The balance of silver vs. black blends nicely with the rest of the car.
I can't comment on durability because I've only had the car a couple weeks, and the wheels were brand new when I bought it. The shop did a good job balancing them, although I do have a very slight vibration from the rears.
At 31 pounds, they are not the lightest wheels on the market, but not the heaviest either. If I track the car, I'll probably get a separate set of wheels and track tires, so the weight is not a big deal for me.
To be honest, I've never been a huge fan of oversized wheels, but they do look sharp!
