I'd post on the SL forum but we get so much more traffic here. I've had a good experience with CCWheel SP18 on my E55...just good construction, lighter weight, and fair price.

I'm also looking at BBS and HRE's, but this wheel has grown on me.

Looking @ 19" x 8.5" (255 profile tire) front and 19" x 11" (305 profile tire) with any wheel I decide on...

yup

OzE55

not my taste, but go with what you want.

While the quality of that wheel is excellent it doesnt fit the body or style of the SL IMO. That wheel would seem better fit for a 997.

Personally I would go with 20's on the SL- 19's get swallowed up by the car's larger curves and fenders. You can do aggressive fitment on these cars with 20x9 and 20x11's and 4 inch rear lips- wheels are made better and better these days so weight should not be a huge issue and its a 65 so who cares

I think you could do better on the wheels.
Maybe like a 3 piece wheel.
20's or something to that affect.

that's just my opinion.

Great input guys that is why I love this forum !

I like this in a mirror polish, but not chrome (I live near the Gulf of Mexico and I don't like getting chrome in areas like this...).

i never liked CCW, their quality might be great but their designs need to be desired, unless you really really like polished looks (most their wheels i see are polished)

on another hand, an aftermarket wheel that you spend $$$ on, does it really need to grow on you, or should it be passion/hotness/drool in the garage over it at first sight? i think i'd rather only buy a wheel that i love from the get go.

gl with your decision, car looks good

The first wheels you posted would look great on a lambo!

CCW is a nice wheel, but doesnt fit a Benz. The Radenergie is a great wheel IMO, but a bit on the heavy side.

AMGfan

It might be a net zero effect if I go with lighter rotors (like on my E55 - Evosport).

Did evo do the black and white series cars for Mercedes directly ????? And if so would MB honor your upgrade partsfor warranty purposes ??? ie , pully,ecu,headers and so on .

AMGfan

I'm not sure about the first question. AS far as MB is concerned, they are *****s about any mod you do especially if a repair of any kind is in question. Our patronage doesn't mean squat if their is a question about any repair. So modders keep your eyes open and be prepared to fight it out or bite the bullet with MB.

I'll keep modding because I love my Beast.

These (Radenergie) I think would look good. The CCW's are not to my taste on an SL.

DAGREEKNYC

the dealer actually told me that they honor the BRABUS UPGRADES . So i guess they must bend a bit . But the kicker was they must do the install . But the kit for my car thru Brabus is 18,500.00 . that was the cost upcharge to purchase the 08 CL coupe . So FaaaaaaHHHHKKKKK DAT !!!!

stevebez

I prefer the stock SL65 wheels...

DAGREEKNYC

lets rephrase this , service tech said yes they do to Brabus and the service manager said NO!!! They do not honor any upgrades even though exhaust and headers are overlooked all the time .

I like the rims on youe E, and should you move to a SL I know your choice will be a tasteful one.
