After compare SL500 or Cayman S, Finally go for SLK 55 AMG. Here's my ride with 20' on it. Hope you guys like it.

**-1-** · 03-21-2007

Looking good! Not many SLKs on 20s. Would like to see a side shot. How's the ride? Beautiful car.

**alroumi** · 03-21-2007

Superb, Congrats I think 20"s are too much for the R171

nmslk · 03-21-2007

What size are the tires on those 20" rims?

**Cold Shot** · 03-21-2007

Great looking car. Those rims look massive! Can't imagine they wouldn't give you issues with rubbing.

**Ynot** · 03-21-2007

Nice car, the road doesn't look too smooth, how is the ride quality? and welcome to the forum.

StormRedAMG · 03-23-2007

I have exactly the same idea with you, coz i see everyone using 19' on R171. But in here everbody using 20' so i just follow them bro. The man told me as long we use a lights wheels material there should be no problem with 20'. Keep u inform. Thanks bro

I ask the man and let you know. But i'm sure nothing being modify, i told the man not to damage anything. He said any slk using 20 doing fine so far as long they used light wheels ex forged whells.

lontong · 03-24-2007

Have you all experience with vario roof, they said we can converting below 50km. Is that thing legal from mercedes benz ? if so what kind of product is the best ? Please help bro, i'm looking forward to install it. Thank you

Use the SmartTop module (available from SLK store, top row menu). Installation is the same as this link: http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r171...y-once-30.html

Study pages 11, 28 and 30 well.

The roof module allows you to operate the roof at speeds less than 30 mph/50 kph. Road must be smooth and level and no speed bumps.

Cool, I was going to try 275's but was afraid of rubbing, my 265 barely fit w/o rubbing. It all depends on tire brand also. Forged wheels are the way to go, both light and strong.

Sounds great boxster have this feature, i'm just concern is that broke MB warranty. Have u installed ? How is that work, i like that very much, quite boring spending too much time to convert and not enough time in traffic lights. How much the ST module ? is that possible for shipping to asia ? thks man

Just try it, that should be ok. Honestly i love the way you modified, your car look so hot and cute. What brand of short antenna you use ?
