Rim Compatability
I am looking at different used rims for my 1999 sl500. I really like the Braubus V, but they all seem to be for SLK, CLK C class. Does anyone know what rims are directly compatable with the SL500 cars. Thanks

depends on the weather
if it is for a slk/clk it does not have the proper load capacity for your 129 and could/would fail because of the weight of your car

Out Of Control!!
You really should contact Brabus directly, and see what they have for your car. Whether it's the same wheel or not, I'm pretty sure they have wheels for your car.

Currently Brabus only makes 3 wheel styles with each available in Single or Multi-Piece (bolted) versions.
Finding genuine used Brabus Wheels to fit your R129 SL is akin to finding a needle in the haystack. Surf Ebay daily. Good Luck.

Braubus Wheels
Thanks for the response guys. If i had a choice in a used Braubus rim, which does not look very promising I would pick an 18 inch monoblock V. And guess what, since I bought the car about 1 week ago I have been on E Bay daily. My wife looks at me and shakes her head, " you just bought the car, and you are already looking for stuff" sound familiar. Anyway thanks for the posts.
