W215 V12TT Build by Speedriven, W221 S550 4Matic
Not an E but a Benz with Style

Hey,

After many nay sayers and listening to people who would not push the limit on an aggressive wheel fitment on OUR cars I decided to go ahead and go where not a lot of people have gone before. My project is coming along and the next thing that the car will probably see is a SL63 rear bumper conversion with a nice Carbon Fiber Diffuser.

I hope you all like this setup, It took me a lot of time and cross fingers to put this setup together.

Thanks to all the guys at DPE for making this happen along with a great forum member that sold these to me.

ENJOY

like the wheels, just not really a fan of the whole stretch look. to me it just seem dangerous and has an increased chance of damaging the wheels.

don't try going around any fast corners. I've seen those come right off the wheels many times.

Wheels and car look great. But, the offset and stretched tire looks ghetto.

Stance is great, wheel design is great. But the stretch look on an SL? Eh....not so much.

Looks good, but the rears stick out too much for my taste. It reminds me of these ghetto hondas I see that are beat up but have 20" rims that stick out six inches from the fenders.
