iam close to an sl500 purchase but...alloy help?

[huna1950]

hello everyone
iam really close to a 2003 sl500 purchase...it's a black panther colour that bleeds cherry leather interior when cut open
as i know less than novice levels on many things SL i have a queery on suitable alloys
really tempted by a blokes brabus black/brown alloys he's got for sale..says their of his sl brabaus but i've emailed to ask if they will do the 2002 onwards......
anyone any idea if these(i've posted link and it's not a sales pitch..)are from pre 2002 model and would anyone know off hand if they would fit??

also if their out somewhat in date would they look well perhaps a little odd/obvious....

sl500 has just had seals done iam told....anything else biggish that's worth asking the seller about before the bank drain begins??last question number 8...any good indy garages in west/north glasgow to recommend

thanks so much...will try to contribute myself in time(when i learn the ropes a little more)

thanks in anticipation

He says they are off a Brabus K8 which only came out in 2002 onwards i believe , plus is it my eyes but they are silver arn't they ? not black/brown . They would look great .

the ONLY ?? over an SL IMHO are struts!!!!

We have a 2003 SL500 and love it to bits - it still has Merc Warranty for another 12 months (just renewed) and my only worry after that will be the struts @ £1500 a pop!!!
