Tell me about it. I wish I could spend a night at the dealer. With the alignment they will do tomorrow, they are also fixing a "leak" in my passenger side window and wind noise from the driver's side. Tomorrow the pics will come

I have no idea. I just told Peter @ Wheel Experts to hook me up with a nice "glossy black"

Yes! Pic was taken when I dropped off the rims, when I came back a couple hours later with my digi cam it was gone!

Had a sweet full Lorinser kit on it, widebody, etc.

Nope. I took it to a paint/body shop and they did it. Their method was mixing clear coat with a little black paint and then spraying it on.

What size of tires are these? Did you have to roll the fenders? Also, are these wheels lighter than the factory ones?

Congrats, they look great!

HRE's website hasn't been updated for a while that probably why you can't see them. Read the post bro. He got it from Peter @ www.wheelexperts.com

They're about 18 & 19 pounds a piece. VERY LIGHT!
235/35/19 and 265/30/19

No modifications were done to the car at all.

However, once the set is done, I would like to move up to 275 or even 285 and will modify the fenders as needed.

Besides.. daddy always said use the rubber -- I hope we're on the same topic here?

Since it sounds like you're going all out why not 315's, 345's or even 355's? lol :p

Thanks Dinko!

As a new SLK 55 AMG owner, I'm looking for all the info I can get for the upgrades, the information you provided was very helpful.

Have fun with your wheels!

I know how you feel. I got the first SLK55 in Orlando, and one of the first in FL. I wish this much info was around back then.
