Blacked Out SL55 with HRE and Brembo
After receiving some marketing photos from HRE of a flat black SL55 with black HRE P40 wheels, I showed my customer the picture and he bought on the spot. Soon after the install of these 20 inch wheels, his factory brake rotors took a dump. One thing some don't know about the Merc is that the brakes are "brake by wire". Brembo developed a front complete replacement kit to enhance the SL55 stopping power and work well with the braking system. The front is a 6piston monoblock caliper for a very rigid system. The rotors are drilled to match the stock rears and available in a 405mm (16 inch!) diameter. We did the calipers in silver to match the rears. The bleeding process of the brakes requires the car to be left on so computer system can properly adjust. With the new HRE P40 wheels and Brembo brakes, the stoutness of this Mercedes is shown!

Sorry but I don't like it. Now if the wheel finish and the car were the same then yes.

Add in black badging and vents, tint the windows and then done.

It's not me either....
why spend all that money on wheels and then not be able to tell what they are? The silver would have been beautiful....

How do you know if they're ever clean? While I love the M40 and the blacked out look, I'm not feeling this one; flat black always looks dirty. Guess for someone who doesn't want to clean their wheels it's a good look......

Drop the front about an 1" and back 1/2" and the car would be perfect. Nice

looks nice. but why do the Brembos? the SL 55 comes with nice looking (not to mention already silver, just like the Brembos) calipers?
