Thx Alot ..i just afraid the Gun Metal will not match to the white body ..
I found the controlling is abit different using 19" compare to 18" ..it's more sensitive in the steeling wheel.

Looks good on the SLK due to the very agressive AMG front bumper on that car, which has similar side ducts to that of the SL65 (and SL55 with the 030 performance package). Good work, looks clean.

Wow, this white color in this SLK looks very HOT.

Can you please post the width of the rims? the tires seem a lot streched.

Best Regards.

No spacers or anything? Directly on from a 65 series?? I was told they will not fit. Are they OEM?

Are those the standard 65 wheels?

I was going to get them for my E but the dealer was trying to F me so I literally just walked away from them...
I would think that they would need 245 front and 265 rear, with the possibility of fittin' 275s rear.. but either way

sick lookin' ride.

The model is AMG style IV 19" multi-piece . They dun need any spacer or any modification..just fitted in ~~ it's SL65 's wheels..but i think SL65 's offset is different to mine one in the rear~ i'm using 9.5J (rear)and they have 10J(rear) for R230.
It costs me around US$5,000 with typres (PS2)

You can't really say that these are the SL65's wheel. Yes they are the same style but the size and offset is totally different. The set that pazu got here, it's what AMG has developed from the SLK55 F1 Safety car. You can get them here in HK from the official MB dealer or most of the tyre shop out there.

Will try to find the parts number and offset for you guys.

If you can make it work without rubbing and other issues, I think it looks absolutely perfect with the more agressive SLK55 (as others mentioned). Then again, I am a bit partial to the design.

I think the gunmetal looks good on white, too.
