The Mercedes SLK-Class – as R170, R171 and R172 – combines roadster driving pleasure, sporty handling and compact dimensions. With supercharged, V6 and AMG V8 engines, a low chassis characteristic and different sized braking systems, the SLK requires precisely tuned summer wheel sets to ensure steering precision, grip and comfort.
All three generations have tight wheel arch geometry, specific sports suspensions and – particularly in the AMG SLK 55 – large high-performance braking systems. Therefore, rims must fit exactly in terms of offset, width and inner clearance.
Reifenshop Landshut offers summer wheels that are 100% compatible with all SLK models.
