Hi,
Addicted to Speed: I simply do not like the design of the 1/16 Ultralight from Carlsson having seen several SLK55s with them fitted.
The HRE C21 in black looks a whole lot better to my eyes but still damned expensive!
I will have a look at Renntech.
Generally it is important for me not to forget that we are talking about an SLK-1550kg not a lightweight sportscar so I do not want to go OTT with the wheels. I think carbon/magnesium would do little else than totally empty my bank account!
Nonetheless I want 19s and do not want to increase the total weight with tyres over the 18 inch AMG Styling III I have at the moment
Dan: As far as I know HRE alter the ET to what you need and those I quoted are exactly as fitted to the silver SLK with the V8 badge.
Thing is I need to be sure not just because of rubbing but also TÜV in Germany.
