I like the black better but those wheels are pretty sweet. What year was this car?

I looked at that car. Horrible color inmo, and the wheels look like they need to be on a C230.

Don't like the colour at all, black or tactite (sp?) grey look great.

What kind of wheels are those? They look like crap imo.

Well it has to be newer, because they only recently introduced different colors.

I like the older version wheels also...

It's an 06.

And I don't know what they're smoking but they are willing to give you $2,000 off of MSRP if you want to Buy It Now on eBay! I think they said MSRP was $486,000.

Those are the base wheels and one of the ugliest colors going for a Benz. Yet another unsellable SLR.

Remember, in January or February the factory gave the dealers a rebate, I think it was $50,000, for each of the cars in stock. The dealers that are holding out for MSRP are trying to stick together to force buyers to pay up but it's not looking too good for that with some of the very low mile eBay prices real close to $300,000.
