" I have a driver though for taking it to sporting events, etc"

Poor Toolz.

Yo Mike.
I am trying to find a picture of my new rims for the Benz, but here is what I did to the Lambo Wheels.

I had all the chrome removed and had the middle painted silver and the lips polished. I don't think Chrome rims would look good on new your silver Benz.

They don't make these wheels for the Benz but to give you an idea on what they would look like.

I will let you know tomorrow.

Yea, that looks tight... Looks good sitting on the grass too.. makes it look extra low

I hear ya though.. Silver rims would be nice for sure..

Stainless! :thumbsup

I lowered it about 4 inches too, that makes it low too. I lowered the benz about 3 inches.

ouch, I cant see lowering my benz.... it does have a build in feature with either air bags or shocks that raises the car an 1 1/2 at the touch of a button

How about you go with the HRE three peice like the chrome and black ones but do the black part silver to match the car instead.

Might look cool.


LOL

Actually I reallly like that idea.. cuz the car is so silver but it also has a ton of chrome on it.. That would be a perfect accent to the natural colors of the car

I love that option, I still use mine all the time.
Especially going thru those drive throughs.

In that case, if you are not going to lower it, I would go with 21's. I have 20s but thats only because its lowered. My front fender sits on my front tire, and when the car is on the freeway, it drops another inch or so and the wheels get tucked. It looks sweet on the freeway.

But its your call if you want to slam it.

Post pics when its done Im sure it will look hot.

Yea, I might try to tuck 21's if they wont look too big..



Julian..I will for sure :)

I got silver tints on my silver benz looks pretty damn good.

Nice ride dude

black rims make the wheels look dirty :(

Any pics?

So says the man with three 600hp plus cars... and an m5 getting bumped up to nearly 700hp? And the same man who topped out his new benz at 155 (no baby breakin period for you? Guess... I havent been gentle with my cars either so...)

Thought that was funny.

Man, and people up here think I am blinging cuz I bought two cars... but I think the rims you will buy will cost more then both my cars together :)

So do the black hookers its kinda the point isnt it?

when you get a maybach, you have the option to get your own tree at their tree farm to make your woodgrain from, so that if you fuck it up, you can have your woodgrain replaced straight from the same tree every time

Mike - can you drive your benz like this yet? :)

Not the best example, but HREs would look nice on the benz.
I'll see if I can grab some pictures tommorrow.

100 indecisions

yea, you got a pic?




Lost Mind... yea, they said its recommended to take it easy for the first 1000 miles.. yeah right. I belive in breaking things in hard. I think reving it up high from time to time is good. Just dont leave it at a high or constant RPM while breaking it in is the main thing :)

is that true? I believe it...

Marc De, they tell you about that?

Thats frickin nuts!

I'm just about to get the SL55, the SL65 simply didn't seem too logical -- $60,000 more for whatever prestige it carries.... I'll spend that on another down payment for a condo in Hawaii lol

hhaahahaha, that was bad ass!!!

Basically its 60k for another 100 horses and a 6 instead of a 5 on the trunk... lol

Either car is awesome!

I just wish they had the SLR front end design for the 2005 SL's, like they did for the new 2005 SLK's.

whatever you do - please no chrome rims. :helpme

You should stick to original German companies! Have a look, they even have reps in the USA:

Chrome Rims - Black Tint

Never seen one with black rims, can't imagine they would look as bling bling as chrome but atleast it's more original.

dont go for black rims they always look dirty imho... chrome is the way to go :)

I think silver goes beter :thumbsup

You treat yourself very well ;)

That car is not only a beauty but is fast like hell..

I personally wouldn't put any "bling look-a-like" in such of those cars, I mean its a crime :disgust

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

i say sell the benz and have a bonus payout day for silvercash

lol @ biddog

I had 20" Brabus wheels on my SL 55 and absolutely loved them. You should look into them Mike. They're based in LA too :)

fuck sounds like you have an awesome dilema dude :)
