Default OZ Superturismo GT Wheels

I promised to post images of OZ wheels on my SLK280 and didn't have a chance to upload them earlier. Purchased 17 inch OZ Superturismo GT with the Dunlop tires from Tirerack. Really like the handling - much better than 16 inch OEM I had before. Here are some photos.
Thanks.

They look good. Thought about lowering the back end about an inch? I think that would finish the look off nicely.

Thanks.
I thought about getting the Superturismo GTs in 18x8 a while back but went with Team Dynamics instead. They really go well with the tasteful mods on your SLK280. What do you currently have? Clear corners, OEM front spoiler, black grille insert, AMG rear spoiler, AMG taillights, faceligt headlights? I think if you lowered your car it would totally complete the look. Where in VA are you again? I'm in Falls Church-we should start a meet!

Default Just sold it

Thank you, everyone.
Unfortunately, I had to sell my SLK to get a bigger family car.
I ended up trading it to E350. it was very depressing.
Not that E350 is a bad car, but SLk is so much fun to ride! Please enjoy your cars. I really hope to get another SLk one day and join you guys again. I've learned a lot from all of you and would like to thank you for this. I must admit that this forum is the best forum I have aver been - everyone treat each other with respect and try to praise and help. Amazing.
Thank you!
