O.Z Wheels

What do you think?

Will it looks good on SLK??

**alroumi** · 11-06-2007

It looks good but arent they too large for an SLK, I would preffer a design with less spokes.

cyberdrakon · 11-06-2007

wayyyy too many spokes. like a more complicated stock slk55 wheel. i would prefer the SLK 55 wheel in maybe 10 or 11 spokes, with a little lip on it. that would be perfect.

Although attractive, they're a cleaning nightmare.

Yes I would have to agree...nightmare to clean. I do think they would probably look good with a black car, not too sure about others....I am in the market for rims myself...tough decision...lots of choices...lots of opinions here as well

you can search mbslk.de . There is a wheel gallery there. You can see similar designs on SLKs. You will find out that those multispoke wheels don't look good on our cars. Stock SLK 55 AMG rims are the best but it is so hard to keep them clean. I was searching for rims 1 year ago, I bought SL 65 AMG rims and everyday I am happy that I got them.

**alroumi** · 11-07-2007

Yeah, I have to agree with diclehana's comments. The SL65 wheels are superb on the slk.

I totally agree, like these for example.

HRE C21

**alroumi** · 11-07-2007

C21's are classy and still lightweight in one package, I like that grey centre on the wheel pictured above. That would look very classy on an SLK especially those with darker coloured cars.

I think that's hre's anthratice finish, if you want a better wheel you should checkout their new monoblock series on the sema featured CLK63 Black series AMG.

Good resource...thanks..

V8SLK · 11-07-2007

i agree with the others, i think those oz wheels are too busy. i like those hre's, they look a lot like my wheels.

VitaminT · 11-08-2007

Man I like those HRE's a lot. Must resist the urge.

**alroumi** · 11-08-2007

V8SLK, the O.Z superlegga 3 are perfect those are the wheels that are on the limited production CLK DTM AMG coupe's and cabriolet.

that's the look i want for the SLK! Too bad HRE rims cost an arm, a leg, your first born, and your dog.

yeah, I like HRE's but way overpriced, I heard several forged companies get their products at the same place (speedway IIRC) but the final assembly is local. (HRE, iForged, DCR, etc). I used to buy HRE's when they were reasonable, now their price is outrageous. There are alternatives, iForged, DPE, DCR, etc are still reasonable.
