2003 SL 500
front tire size with 20" wheels

Is anyone having issue with 20" wheels on their sl 500 hitting the upper control arm? If you are not having issue what tire size are you running up front?

I'm abit confused by This thread.
I Said I like cor. I was actually going to buy a set till I saw the amforged on YouTube. They were more in my budget and went with those.
You posted in CAPS how they are built by same people, then Now how amforged are thieves.
Sounds like you had a bad experience with them. That sucks. I had a positive experience. If I remember don't you live by them? I live in Vancouver. Couldn't be farther away. Crappy if you got burnt. What happened?

sorry, my work pc is all caps,not pissed at you. AM forged is a part of Auto Motoring. Auto motoring is part of wheelsnext and wheelsnext.com. the company was having a lot of financial trouble. they werent paying their bills. I didnt find this out untill i ordered a set if wheels from them.
side note.......\COR builds a lot of peoples wheels. many wheel companies, am forged was just one of them. the companies liscense a style and cor makes them for them and they put whatever name they want.

anyway am forged didnt pay their bill with cor. they told me my wheels were ready and TWICE i sent my driver get them and they told me after he was there that they werent ready. then they finally bring me a set of wheels, after i demanded wheels or my money back, and what i got was wheels for a sl500, not 55. i told them when i ordered them , no spacers, they better fit without them. so long story short they held on to a few k of my money for 6 weeks and ****ed me.
