What AMG wheels look best on SLK.

[djangry]

Hi everyone !
I want to put some 18" AMG wheels on my SLK 350 (2004). My car is a strange spec as she has the AMG body Kit on and rear spoiler but not the wheels.

It would be great if you guys would tell me what wheels You think look best.
I have attached 3 photos (dont know how to post the pics in the message)

photo no.1 is my car with R 35 17" wheels on (these are for sale)

Photo No.2 is the Style V (Standard on SLK55) 18"

Photo No.3 is the Stlye 111 (new style) 18" no cost option on SLK55

What ones look the best ???

(If anyone has either of the AMG wheels for sale please contact me)

You thought of the Brabus Monobloc VI's

Got them on my SLK - photo in the member's photo section.

I like John Boy's Brabus Monoblocks best then the Style 111's.

 

[angus falconer]

Yep, definitely the Brabus Monoblocs - with that body kit you want a bit of attitude in your rims to set it off

 

[djangry]

Can any one E-mail me a photo with the wheels on a SLK >?

Call me silly but a cant find the member's photo section.

 

[angus falconer]

go to the section callesd "mercedse benz art gallery" then select the slk area - John Boy's post is the last one. Click on the thumnail and there you have the picture

Are these the wheels you guys are talking about ? (attached photo)
will 19" fit on my SLK 350 ?

Again thanks for you help.

those are the ones i would suggest. i have the multi psoke 18's on mine and they are a nightmare to clean. the 19 5 spokes would be better

 

[john_boy]

Yes,

just to confirm those are the wheels...

Do bear in mind if you go for the 19" ones with 8.8 fronts and 9.5 rears (which gives the rear end a sexier wider track) - genunie one's with tyres are going to set you back the neck end of £5000.

Replica's (again with tyres) should be circa £1300....

Yer pays yer money.....

ahhh getting confused now are the Brabus Monoblocs wheels in fact the same wheel as the AMG Style IV wheels ? (photo attached)

 

[john_boy]

Nope...

AMG and Brabus are separate companies....

Both do tuning bits for Merc...

 

[djangry]

them wheels look very a like !

As SLKinKY says very nice but multi spoke wheels are a nightmare to keep clean. OK if you have a presure washer plugged in the whole time.
I do not like any of them very much.
there are some more out there, official MB wheels that is
Lorinser, carlsson and kleeman. Lorinser have a very good web site but last night it was not working very well but they do show the SLK with different wheels.
When I was thinking about wheels, 3 months disappeared from my life.
