New wheels!!!
Brabus Monoblock VI single piece. Front 18x8.5, rear 18x9.5.
Overall, looks pretty good. I think 18's are big enough for this car...I actually think 19s will make the SLK look smaller than it is.
As you can see, lowering is much needed. I think I'll get around to doing that this summer.

I'm not a big fan of aftermarket wheels but if I were going to get a set, these would be my first choice. I think that the gunmetal or black wheels are the worst looking, but that's just my opinion.

Dam that looks so good. Is that stock height? Or is it lowered with the sport package? If so, how much of a drop is that? The car looks so sick from that angle.
