I dont like those; they do look to extreme and shows that you badly want to be a SL or even an SLR; If only the SLK was longer, maybe that would look okay, but for its size as the french say Je de teste le gills.LOL

That looks aweful, looks like the SLK has identity issues. I agree with both members.

Doesn't add to the look but makes the SLK look awkward.

They look like knockoffs of the SLR wheels, definitely an identity crisis.

The Black Series "gills" look proportioned to the SLK, however, I do agree with the other comments regarding the long side fins referred to as "gills"..... Not for me!!!!
