It looks like BBS RS-GT wheels are among the lightest for an R230.

The BBS website shows a fit for 19x8.5 ET 32 front (RS958) and 19x9.5 ET 32 rear (RS961). However, those wheels do not show on the Tirerack website. Any special reason why not?

And the slightly tougher question: the BBS website shows a fit for 18x8.0 ET 35 front (RS910) and 18x9.5 ET 32 rear (RS914), but only for an SL500. They don't show as a fit for an SL55. Any special reason why not? Maybe brake rotor/caliper clearance?

Thanks!

#1.) I do not know why they are not on our website ... they do fit .... since they added the TPMS compatible versions ... I will have our website updated

(good catch )

#2.) larger brakes on the AMG version

I have stopped tracking my SL55, and would like to pass on my set of BBS RS-GT 958/961 rims to somebody who recognises the difference they make. The set consists of 6 rims, 3 rims of each size. One each is new in the box from BBS, one each is used but in perfect condition, one each has a damage to the outer ring that can be repaired for 65 Euro per rim but will remain visible.

Last time I looked, the RS958 were Euro 680/rim and the RS961 Euro 700/rim.
New value for the set of 6 is thus ~4140 Euro. Would anyone be interested in the lot for 2000 Euro plus shipping (from The Netherlands)?

Cheers,
