not feeling it looks liek the stock wheels of an sl500 doesnt match car... if there is a side shot of the wheel andyour car bunch of the pshop pro's here can kinda show u what it will look like..
the shape of the wheel doesnt flow with the car

The thing is they are cost effective. What I really want would cost 4k. What caught my eye about these was the 5 spoke turbo twist style. More exagerated yes but similar.

Hummmm

Tim,
Not a great looking wheel. Have you loolked at TSW's Vortex model? They have a Techart Formula look and I think they're well priced. I've attached a pic.
Cheers,
Stan

If they are going on a Porsche it will ruin the look of the car IMO.
