Bought it with 1300mi from a MB dealership, never titled though therefore full as new warantee, etc. Have it for about 3mo's... Since, I have added Module for top, front lips, rearspoiler, aerowings, chrome trims, clear sidemarkers and green filters...Brabus springs are on the way...soon 18 or 19" wheels....absolutely love the car...thanks for the kind words.

What ? 18 inche.
Yup, I like those 18" MB wheels. You got a super price. I checked, through MB parts, four come to $3600 plus. As I've said before, 18" minimum, 19" depending on the wheel. Sixteen inch wheels should be outlawed. I like the look of the SLK 16" wheel, just not the size. on your SLK 280.My 350 slk has the same type of rims but it is only 17 inche. how's that?

Thanks Frissen
I like this style of rims for it's look and it is so easy to clean the brake dust off.
Where is Mary without her sunny (sun glasses) ? You lucky fellow.

SLK 280
slk 280 edition 10
First time posting...
Here's my new slk280 edition 10 that I just picked up... basically in terms of options its got 7 speed automatic with paddle shifters, 17" 10-spoke "chrome shadow" wheels, p1, heating package, and a 6 cd changer. Detailing that's not on your typical slk... check the pictures.. just a lot of red stuff all over the place.
I have to say the thing I like the most about these options are the rims and the paddle shifters.
For now I'm thinking about adding some random bits of chrome, a SL short antenna, and HIDs later on. Since it's a lease for commuting to and from work with, I'll decide later if I want to add some kind of 3rd party lcd screen into the front console, maybe hook up some forward looking infra-red camera or something (or rear looking something or another to spot the highway patrols)...

After a ton of trouble including wrong bolts and a broken hub, I got my 360 Forged Spec|5ive wheels installed! 8.5" in the front and 9.5" in the rear. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 225/35/19 in the front and 255/30/19 in the rear.
I ordered some Eibach lowering springs from Tire Rack, but I'm not sure if I'll put em on. I'm pretty happy with how the car looks on the stock suspension.

slk 280
Picking up my new baby at the end of July as soon as it gets in here. Let me tell you the days are dragging on forever waiting for her. Will post pics on here as soon as I get her home.... well, maybe after my 1st drive through the hill country.
2009 SLK 350, Capri Blue with black leather, premium and heating pckgs.
I think I'm gonna keep the stock 17" wheels, at least for a couple years. If you've seen them on mbusa's site or any of the reviews and such, the redesigned stock rims actually look pretty nice with the bevelled (sp?)/diamond cut area around the the lugnuts. Much better than the previous stock rims the last couple years. I REALLY liked the "black chrome" rims on the 2008 Edition 10, but unfortunately you can't get them on the 2009's and I couldn't order an Edition 10 in capri blue so late in the game (feb of this year). May try to find a set of them on ebay or something later on. The Capri blue is the main reason I held off for the 2009, although I wish they hadn't discontinued the caspian blue because that was my 1st choice and there were NO caspian blue 2008's anywhere to be found in the states, except for one in FL with beige interior, no thanks.
Anyone seen a new Orion blue 2009 slk? I guess that's their replacement for the caspian blue. Looks too much like royal blue for my tastes, not a good color for such a blue-blooded car if you ask me, pardon the pun. Burgundy, dark blue, caspian blue... all good colors. Bright blues and reds just don't seem to compliment the SLK line in my eyes. But I haven't seen the orion blue in person so I could be wrong.
