Absoloutely gorgeous.

I'm not liking the alloy's or insanely tight tyres, but the rest is very nice

I'm struggling to see where there's any designo ..

 

[janner]

Stupid wheels, crazy price.

 

[Dr-Nab]

stretched tyres?! Looks like just Berry Red leather? Not sure it's designo at all

 

[John]

Nice car overall but too much red for me and not keen on the stretched tyres either - or the price come to that.

Aren't wheels that sit beyond the profile of the car were an MOT failure?

 

[e55]

I think they were at the last AMG GTG at Bluewater........
Pricey though for what it is

 

[RAJ55]

liking the blacked out grill

 

[Mobb]

Absolutely beautiful! Price does seem a little high though.

 

[Alps]

"This is a genuine low mileage SL55 with full MBSH that was previously owned by a celebrity. This car is a Designo Edition (Mercedes equivalent of BMW's Individual series where the owner can choose the specification including interior/exterior colours) and comes with a rather unique berry red nappa leather (all others had the oxblood leather) and matching carpets. The bespoke Image Wheels were made at great expense for me "

Who believes that the wheels were made at great expense for him?

And why do some people when advertising a Mercedes that isn't black or silver with matching interiors call it Designo?

Image wheels are custom made to be fair, was talking to a guy at Autosport on their stand but custom made = pick a wheel design and size and they make it to the offset and fitment for your car... which is kind of what most wheel companies can do if they want to.

Fair enough to an extent, I can't believe that they'd be too hard to machine to fit any car. It's not like we are talking about the offset of a 1925 Maybach though....

 

[Dr-Nab]

Exactly most wheels have the hubs machined up to whatever they need to be, so it's not so one-off as they're making it out to be but then nice 3-piece wheels probably in excess of £3k excluding the tyres then stretch some tyres on it, doesn't seem right but bet if it was posted on stance nation they would love it!

They do have some nice wheels on the image site. Funnily enough if you look in the gallery there is some pictures of their version of the oz amg splitties, although theoretically replicas it would be nice to buy a set brand new in whatever size or fitment you wanted. Obviously been removed due to copyright reasons though !

 

[Abdul]

Thats my mates car, seriously beautiful!

All Image wheels are one offs built according to the individuals needs. I know that set run just shy of 5k....

Im pretty sure the trim is designo aswel....

Price is a bit meh but he's open to offers!

 

[gchild]

Loving those rims. Not keen on red interior though.

 

[timk]

Nice if you like the rapper look.
