[Seamster15]

An improvement or a mistake?

Hmm - prefer the original look IMHO.

I genuinely saw a very tasty looking black SLR roadster waiting to cross and turn on the A40 earlier today. Sunny early afternoon, looked the part with the roof down, private plate (looked like 'KNOB' or something ), McLaren badges gleaming on the wings- I had the window open and as he pulled away you got the full 'spitfire' music with a hint of tyre scrabble and very quickly it vanished!

Seen a few parked over the years, MB World etc and a couple driving past, but it's the first one I've ever seen on the road 'giving it some'!

Its KXK isnt it?

 

[davidpavey]

I like it

The proprietor of that business is Pakistani so the no chance he's trying to make any reference to the KKK. His surname is khan hence the plate, he recently bought the plate F1 for about £300k.

The owner of Project Kahn you mean...

Yep, and v12online and Auto Design Technics, they're all the same business.

Wow - thats ugly!

 

[Howard]

Same style of wheels as Mac has aren't they ?

They look alright on Macs S class , but terrible on the SLR ...

You know what they say .... ' just because you can , doesn't mean you should '

Terrible ...

 

[wemorgan]

IMHO they make the car look heavy and clumsy.

 

[stats007]

Which is ironic given they're Kahn's hideously expensive carbon fibre wheels.

 

[wemorgan]

Just goes to show I know noting about custom wheels

 

[bobby]

Big mistake - look terrible IMHO

 

[verytalldave]

Not an improvement. Althought the original SLR wheels could do with a lift.
But there are an awful lot worse.............

 

[chord]

Have to agree with most folk and say they are a mistake. They just seem to take all the attention away from the car when you look at it.

Having see that car in the flesh i can confirm the wheels do look very wrong IMO

The only saving grace with that particular sale is that he's selling the car with the "standard" Turbine wheels and you can pay a premium for the ones in the picture

It is KKK the plate btw
