Steve, can you fit 19's on the SLK32? If so... I think the SRT-6 wheels with Everest Green between the spokes would be a killer look. If you used the Mercedes/AMG center caps, no one would know the source.
Personally I love the SRT wheel, and they would be narrow enough up front that you would haze zero interference issues with the suspension.
I think there is a set or two on the forum for sale... certainly cheaper than the SLK55 wheels.

If you don't like the nose on some models you can spring for a 2011 I saw at the museum. I'll even go by and pick it up for you!

nope no 19's for me. the ride was tough enough on 18's. i do like the tsw willow or the slk 55 wheel with black windows to allow black accents. of course i gotta get the car first!

Lower it on the B&G springs, black out all the emblems, put on your custom grille with NW duals, and it would look HAWT.
And smoked LED tails, of course.

Also, if you're the slightest bit concerned with ride, then the KW coilovers are a recipe for needing new fillings.
