Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG With a set of HRE Vintage 501 Wheels in Frozen Stone Bronze by Boden AutoHaus!

Thanks for taking a look!

For sure. That house is badass.

P1 · 12-13-2018, 10:40 PM

Unfortunately not a very good looking vehicle.

GiofromNJ · 12-14-2018, 09:40 AM

Something about the front? Looks too Subara FRS like? Otherwise the rest of it is quite nice and sporty.

Yes, the front looks like an afterthought. Very uninspiring.

Blksnowflake · 12-15-2018, 03:53 AM

Oh my lord. It has literally made me say f$&k!!!
This car amazing. Love every detail, every angle.
Well done.

And that house is dream worthy.

shay2nak · 12-15-2018, 06:15 PM

Actually the car looks great in person. It's a huge difference from the previous design which IMHO is one of the best. The wheels are too big and would look a lot more proportional with 20s, IMHO.

Germanauto · 12-16-2018, 10:32 AM

I don't understand the hate...this is stunning.

It's too bad HRE wheels cost a leg and arm.

ntg44 · 12-17-2018, 08:19 PM

Totally does not fit the car

Fake retro badly done? Fits perfectly.

Of course I think that's the second ugliest car ever made, only behind the absolutely awful SLR.

Grumpy Old Man · 12-17-2018, 09:37 PM

I like the car, but those wheels look the the crappy BBS baskets from the 80's

svt1998gt · 12-18-2018, 01:06 AM

Wheels are fugly

Alfisti · 12-18-2018, 10:05 AM

Way, way too much wheel. 20's tops, if not 19's. It's just too much wheel, it overwhelms the car.

I think the car looks pretty good, although I'm not sure it aged as well as some of its contemporaries. But those wheels certainly do not improve its looks.
Personally I think these wheels are for a different era of cars, like the e30 or e36 3 series. HREs don't need to be on everything. Stock doesn't always mean bad.

Agreed. Just really dislike the SLS because of its awful design compared to the original Gullwing. Glad to see them fix it all with the current GT which looks great without giving the bird to history.

My fugly arse Model 3 performance just toasted an M4 a few days ago. All I did was floored the pedal when the light turned green after giving him a split second head start. He was a few car lengths behind after a second or two. M4 looks a lot cooler and has more buttons though. It also sounded really cool at the light when he was revving the engine.

HRE_Wheels · 12-20-2018, 12:10 PM

We've got a gorgeous 991.2 GT2RS with another set of R101 Lightweights done!

20x9.5 Fronts (which weigh 18.40lbs) with 265/30/20 tires
21x12.5 Rears (which weigh 23.50lbs) with 325/30/21 tires

What do you guys think of the wheel choice?

GOLFFRR · 12-20-2018, 12:16 PM

the exact way I would spec mine if I had one

Alfisti · 12-20-2018, 02:04 PM

Nice wheels, right size, good amount of side wall but black on black on black ... meh.

Agreed. Wheels would be perfect on a white car. This one screams for gold or bronze.

Alfisti · 12-20-2018, 03:43 PM

or just straight up silver. Would actually look good with dished chrome IMHO.
