What a neat option and opportunity. I know GM does the same thing for the Corvette. I can only imagine the factory tour is FUNtastic. Enjoy the trip, and your new SLK. Be safe!

Really appreciate these shots. Thank you for sharing! Just got my new SLK 280 Pewter. I don't have pictures yet sorry! I really like the color.
I really like the 17" AMG style wheel Tire combo you have, and I'm considering upgrading from the stock 16" to a 17" Wheel option (I need to think 5 spoke Titanium Silver as this color to me seems to go better with Pewter than the AMG style.T hey only come in bright silver from the dealer).
Have you noticed any drop in acceleration/performance ? or reduced braking as a result of the larger diameter and wider footprint of the larger tires? I know the SLK 350 has the extra oomph and braking to drive these. I'd hate to spend $3000.00 and regret it. Appreciate any comments. thanks all

Plenty of the 17" AMG five spoke wheels for sale on the forum boards as well as eBay. Anywhere from $1000 t0 $1300+ plus with tires. There's a set on the SLKWorld.com "Items for Sale". I purchased a 18" set from TireRack.com with Michelin P/S 2 tires for just under $3000. They're my second favorite wheel for the SLK, still looking for my favorite set. Good luck!

Thank you for the tip. I did see them on the site and they are definately a great deal. My only concern is my car is Pewter and I noticed the wheels are Titanium Finish as opposed to Bright Silver AMG and most others including the 10spoke. I've seen these side by side and am wondering if bright silver will look right with Pewter. Any opinion's please....

Gayle - which wheels are the titanium finish. Where did you see them?
