MM, as I am sure you very well know, you have a high performance car and nothing robs performance more than heavy wheels. Lighter = better in every case. I like the idea of the OZ supperleggeras. I am sure they would look great on your car.
Looks great, and we already know you have the best sounding "mean machine" slk anywhere

update:
Just talked to a tech, doesnt recommend it might make the car slower since it doesnt need that only if the car is a turbo say like a 65. Needs a bit of backpressure, anyways stay tuned until the springs arrive i am going to see how it looks and order some spacers from h&r.

Honestly, I do not think you need to do anything to the exhaust system on your SLK

Mo - The second diffuser you posted looks great. As far as wheels go, can you get CLK BS factory wheels for your car (do they fit)? Other than that style, I'd stick to those Brabus wheels. Like Josh said, those are timeless. Whatever wheel you get, make sure they are silver - it's a nice contrast with the paint. Mabrook alayk habibi - kulu ma sayaratik jameela jidn!

Thank you guys, appreciate your responses.....The clkbs wheels might fit, knowing its MB they might need a VIN no # since its a BS model from AMG. The tech and I are going to see how it is once its lowered late this week, then ordering spacers very minimal from H&R to perfect the stance.
