You can now post pictures on this website since it has been updated. Not sure how exactly. I think you click the little yellow box with a mountain in it which is next to the bullet point box. Good luck.

Yes I did get a chance ot look athe 2 SL pics.
I was not sure about the color of hte car and the dove grey interior .
But the car is great, having driven 2 911 Turbos, one a twin, a Jag XKR and then an Aston Martin DB7 this is a truly good car.
What I am impressed with is the power and the acceleration and yet it is a very tame car for daily driving. A lot more tamer then the DB7.
Thank you for your good wishes.

Those handsome rims are the stock rims for the SL600. Did you special-order them or are they stock on this year’s SL55 too?

Sorry for Wheels 1 and 2

The wheels were from the dealer.
when I ordered the car the dealer had a set in his show room .
However I do not belive they are the same wheels as in the 600 but I could be wrong.
These made the car just right, whereas I like the turbine wheels these wheels show the car better .
When I ordered the car the dealer it was a straight deal with no premium for the wheels so the choice was very easy for me .

Here is a photo of the stock SL600 rim on my car. I do like that style more than any aftermarket wheel I've seen. Have fun with your new SL!
