Those 20's look gorgeous.
Any wheel well shaving/alterations to prevent rubbing? Doesn't look like too much clearance available, especially for those wide meats.
Nicely done! BBS is indeed in a class of its own.

The most disappointing part about this whole thing is that I can no longer make fun of you for the bling.
Hats off to you my friend. In a word- Incredible.

i like this much better then your other set and i've actually called tire rack about a set of CH-Rs and they said it can't be done. i had CHs before and loved them. they also held up much better then HREs, i never bent the BBSs !!

I like the CH-R look and thought about it for my M3 but the weights drove me away. I know that weight doesnt matter as much on an SL65 so enjoy them.
Looks good

Guys thank you all for the kind words... it really makes me appreciate being a part of this community when I can share my enthusiasm for the work I put into my car and people truly enjoy sharing in the outcome.
To answer a couple of questions:
-Absolutely ZERO modifications were made to get these to fit. None. Bolt up and go.
-While not the lightest wheels on the market, at 27 & 29lbs they aren't the end of the world. Weight = metal = strength IMO. I want wheels that can stand up to our imperfect streets, and these offer a good compromise between weight and strength.

Whatever we're tuning!
The wheels look AMAZING! Great choice!
Props to CPT for all of their hard work too. It is always great to see the appreciation of the time and energy to get this done! Same to you Marcus!
