At the time of purchase, these were on sale for $695 each (buy 3 get one free) so I paid $2085 for 4 with the staggered setup. The dealer installed them free as part of the deal. These wheels with the staggered setup make the car look totally different (no more Miata look alike). The 16s just don't cut it!

2007 slk230 in Charleston, SC
My wife swears she saw a couple 2007 silver MB's with ID markings of slk230 "kompressor" cruising around town today. She believes the body is slightly different than a 280 or 350; very plain, almost square looking. By chance, anyone else?

OLD: 2004 C230 Sport Sedan, NEW: 2007 SLK350
yeah, she probably saw the R170 model, since she saw:
- SLK230 badge
- Kompressor badge
- plain-looking "square" car
- different from current 280 and 350 (R171 with SLR-nose)
Here's the timeline:
2004 and older: R170 model
2005: R171 introduced: SLK350, SLK55 AMG
2006: R171 continued: SLK280 added, SLK350, SLK55 AMG
2007: R171 continued: SLK280, SLK350, SLK55 AMG
Hope that makes it clear?

this is my 2005 Brabus SLK (imported new from Germany)
Sorry about the quality of photos, my didgital camera is very old
Also it rained the previous day, so the car was not very clean when I took the pics.
By the way, those extra brabus foglights are really fun, they turn on each time you take a turn so that they illuminate the corners
***Brabus front and rear spoiler***
***Brabus side panels with LED entrance lights ***
***Brabus 18" rims***
***Brbaus stainless steel rollbars***
***brabus 4-pipe stainless steel sport exhaust system ***

CLK500 rebadge to 320, C300 4matic, X5 4.8is
9moon, your wheels looks great but ur ride isn't. lower it, add a lip or something cuz its freaking ugly. Hence, put the 0 back to the 280 why just 28 brabus. It just look stupid buddy.

2006 Slk 280
Hey guys,
Well it's pretty much a stock 2006 SLK 280 in 6-spd Manual. I thought maybe I'd post anyways because I don't think you guys see much of the Orion Blue down in the states. It's nothing fancy, but I just added AMG Lip spoiler, 350 rims, OEM plexiglass for more top-down enjoyment and 23% tint. That's it for now, but planning to Eibach drop as well as maybe something small like pulleys or chip. Not sure for now.

I think maybe a 1.0 inch drop or so?

I agree, I think Ynot's car is the hottest SLK I've seen!!
One question, when you did the quad exhaust, did you have to change rear bumper or did that fit? Or did you customize the rear bumper somehow...??
