Plenty of wheels available on eBay. From used SLK 55 AMG wheels to tons of aftermarket wheels.

I got some rims from Germany AMG straight away..I was wondering if anything would go wrong if i change my slk350 exhaust to an AMG one..? would there be any safely issues? i went to my merc dealer and asked if they could put it on for mer and they said it will effect the air bag and everything... dont understand what he was saying.. also would anyone rekomend lorinser body kit? i am thinking of getting the lorinser back body kit, only on the back cuz i got the AMG body styling alreadi..

Thanks!

Don't forget to do the SuperSprint SLK 350 long tube headers and exhaust then the MKB cams and ECU. K&N has a part number for that M272 motor as well.

Yes, you can get those parts in AUS. In fact, neither are US based. The MKB stuff is pretty hard to get Stateside. SuperSprint has a North American website though. I have heard good things about both vendors. I have been doing some research on my motor which is the same as yours (the M272 E35 3.5L 24v DOHC SFI). So there are a lot of similarities.

PS: I was in Brisbane (Gold Coast) last year. It was beautiful! I rented a Harley and went touring through the Hinterlands and up to Beerwa and the Glasshouse Mountains. I had to get the obligatory picture of the kangaroo crossing of course. Check me out thinking I'm cool ...

How did you go about getting the AMG styling? Did you order your car with it?
