my stock rims

V8SLK · 12-22-2006

after replacing my rims a couple of weeks ago i put the old ones on a shelf in the garage. my friend oscar has an 04 slk320 so we talked about putting my stock rims on his car. well, today he came over and we did it. i think the rims look great on his car. the brushed aluminum looks good on his silver car and the entire stance looks sportier. i wasn't sharp enough to think of, "before and after pictures", so here are some, "mid-point and after pictures"...

Definitely looks GREAT with the "new" rims.

**DansSlk** · 12-22-2006

Looks real good.

You had no issues with fitment mate?

how many slks are around you!?

I'm not a fan of stock look b/c it looks boring after awhile, so a little change looks great, this is no exception, it looks great.

Looks good

BIG difference. A great set of wheels and tires makes the greatest impact on a vehicle. They're money well spent.

no, they bolted right up. we checked for clearance there seemed to be no problems, a spirited test drive proved this to be true...

yeah, actually they did. they asked me how i liked mine, where i got it and who the salesman was. later that day they come home with a launch edition, purchased from the same guy i bought from. the salesman threw a little bling my way for the referral!

Looks good, Is it me or does it look slightly high on its toes; A Lowering might be an alternative.

Looks fine but better on r171, however AMG style IV 19" is my favorite and what I have now....
