What is the price of the turbine wheels

anyone know the option price for these wheels? And whether or not they are available as a special order item from a dealer?

I'm sure he wants the ones the SLR has. Talk to your dealer because the MB turbines aren't an option I think, and are with the SLR only?

In Europe the 18 inch 5 spoke wheels come on the car. The 19 inch Turbine Wheels are an option.

All US models come with the Turbine wheels.

The Turbine wheels are functional on the SLR. The wheels were designed in a wind tunnel and become a fan at high speeds pulling air out from under the vehicle creating aerodynamic downforce, as the air passes through the brakes it beomes functional for brake cooling as well.

The front wheels are $5k Each
The rear wheels are $6k Each

Exactly correct. And all US models will come to the US with the 'turbine' wheels.
