Should I get some 18's for the back? I'm using Carlsson 1/16 Ultra Lights, there 19 inch but only 9.6 kgs which is a little over 20 lbs so I figured in terms of weight these should do fine since these are the lightest rims for our cars

I would have to buy 2 18 inch rims so I'd prob break even with buying 2 18 rims, and 2 DR for them vs 2 19 inch DR

I got the SL500 18s on mine with a MTH ET street. 18s are def the way to go even smaller is better. More sidewall = more traction

No...SL65 only came with 19's. Aftermarket 18in wheels...I have a pair for myself and happen to have a full set for sale reasonable...but you can only use the rears..the fronts won't fit over the front calipers...

Hmm tempting, but I would also need to take into account my black series kit in the spring and if they would fit. Whats the width on the rims?
