SL 65 Wheels size??

There is a set of SL65 wheels for sale locally.

The seller says that the rear wheel is 10" wide, with offset 28.

From what I see on the forums, people say they have 9.5" rear with offset 31 on their SL65.

Were there two different rear wheel sizes for the SL65???

Yes they had 10 inch rear rears as an option!

10 inch were an option... They sound original...

Spin them to make sure they are not flat spotted on the inside... The original 19 inch AMG two piece wheels are almost as ridgid as Jello...

I have the 10" version on the rear of my SL55, was very lucky when looking for 19" SL65 wheels that these were the only ones available at the time.

Refer to attached JPG for AMG wheel options.
