I LIKE WHITE WHEELS ON A WHITE CAR, BLACK ON BLACK, SILVE ON SILVE,R BUT I JUST DONT LIKE RED ON RED. ITS LIKE TOO MUCH TO ME. BLACK ON RED LOOK SGOOD WHEN THE CAR IS SOLID RED, BUT THE SL55 HAS THE BRUSHED TRIM ON TH EVENTS, GRILL, DOOR HANDLES THAT MESSES UP THE ALL BLACK LOOK TOO.

When I bought my silver 07 030 there was a red 07 030 loaded with everything including distronic that was going through CPO. I looked at it but sadly allowed the salesman to talk me out of it. I've always regretted that decision. Thinking about it later all he wanted to do was sell me a car so I've never been back to that dealership. I agree red is very cool and very sexy!
