On your SL R231, my favourite at the moment are the Brabus Monoblock F - Liquid Titanium Cross Spoke

Look nice although I was looking for some slightly less busy. What rear section can you fit on those it appears to only go upto a 295? The hre will go upto a 305. I did look at some at the
20 Inch OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT Graphite that could take a 315

Love the ones in the third picture. They are very similar to the ones on the C63 507 edition

They do look good, I can't find a good photo of them on a similar style car as mine.

I understand what your mean but the SL is a big car not sure the 5 double spoke design suits.

What colour is your SL?
If black then black wheels with some silver elements look good. If non-black then black wheels work well. I like the first set kinda CSL style.

Iridium. I was looking at either back or a satin grey wheel, they look smart and are a bit different from the usual black.

Hmm is really not an easy call. I also see what you mean!

If you do like that look, take a look at the BBS F1 much lighter than HRE

They look nice but I can only find the in 19. The bbs rs gt come in 20 and are a similar style.

why not get the OEM 10 spoke forged alloys?

The third ones, they are HRE S104s I think? I have HRE P44SCs on mine which are similar but the new S104s are lighter still and look great too.

They are also a lot lighter than the OEMs and better finished.

Are you getting them from a UK source?

Can you fit 305's on the rear without any issues i.e. catching or rubbing with weight in the back??? Intrigued as i may need wider tyres for more grip in the near future.
3rd picture looks best in my opinion.

I just wanted something a bit lighter and different.

They are and do look good. Yes uk sourced.

Thanks,

I am told I can go up to 315's. I was spinning up at over 120 at Goodwood recently so some more traction would be good.

I like them a lot, I a can't find a dealer that has them all in stock so I can and take a look. Maybe photoshop is the answer.

You are right - I am swaying to these now aswell. I think these are S104's, they look brilliant but they are very pricey indeed - circa £6K for the set without tyres.
