Super Deep Concave Rohana RFX5 20x9 20x11 5x112 $1,350

Located in Socal.

I sold my SL55.

Only 1,000 miles on the set of wheels and tires.

$1,350 for wheels only.

These Flow Forged Rohana RFX wheels are super light and go for over $1,800 on the web. They have under 1,000 miles on them.

$2,850 wheels and Michelin Super Sport 245/30/20, 305/25/20.

No TPMS.

Shipping and paypal is extra.

They'll also fit Mercedes CLS, Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallarado and Huracan.

I will NOT respond to text messages. This is a landline.

I have an SL65, do these require spacers to fit? How used are the tires?

No spacers needed. These wheels were made for the SL.

Wheels and tires have 1,000 miles on them. I drove from Los Angeles to Monterey and back in August for Concourse de Elegance.

Any issues with rubbing at all? That's substantially wider than stock.

Absolutely ZERO rubbing. No issues at all. These wheels were made for the SL. Handling and traction is greatly improved. Your car being a 65 needs the extra handling and traction capabilities even more than my 55 did. Where are you located?

On another note, you can see in the picture that my car had the $18,000 Performance Package Option. That came with the SL 65 wheels, suspension, brakes, bumpers, and extra power over the regular SL 55.

You will love your SL 65 a lot more with these wheels. Everything gets better: Acceleration, braking, cornering, cruzing. The AMG SL 65 wheels are boat anchors.

I'm interested but the shipping might kill it. We're probably talking 1000 bucks to ship to florida.

I just saw the post about ride quality with 20" wheels/tires.

The factory wheels are boat anchors. They must weigh 70 to 80 pounds each. The resulting handling was pretty awful.

With modern one piece flow forged wheels and Michelin Super Sport tires you are in an entirely different league of car. You are shaving 20 to 30 pounds of rotating mass off each wheel.
