Silver SL500's in Mumbai

v12 · 7th April 2004, 18:27

Hey guys,
Today while on my way back from Lokhandwala. seen a silver Merc SL on the other side of the road. Didnt see much, just took out my cam and took a pic. The car had 5 spoke alloy wheels [each havin twin spokes]. Cudnt see much of the rear cos there were other cars in front of me.

Guess we have to wait until the roll's developed to see whether it was a 500/55.

if it had 5 spoke alloys, chances are its a regular SL.

The SL500 sold in India has 7 spoke alloys.

The one i seen had alloys like the SL55 below:

must be an arab country

GTO · 7th April 2004, 20:02

My bet is its an SL500 with upgraded wheels...though I do hope its an AMG

GTO

That is the wheel which goes on the E55 and C55 AMG so most likely it is a SL55. Its just not a 3 piece wheel like the one in the pic.

Well u do get just the wheels also. I've seen an S class badged S320 CDi and it had Brabus wheels. I guess Auto Hangar, Bombay is the distributor for Brabus kits.
