18" is a basic option for me..... If not, it unlike a sports car!!! : )

As far as I know, the suspension is the same no matter if you get your SL
with 16's 17's or 18's....

Cliff,
I went to AMG 18" monoblocks without any changes to the suspension, and know
others have done likewise. Ride is definitely a bit rougher but still quiet
and within acceptable (to me) limits. Handling is much improved, and more
than worth the compromise. I have never been able to determine if MB itself
made suspension changes on the "Sport" models that also included 18" AMGs.
Does anyone know for certain?

4) Should I up rate my suspension if I use 18" wheels?
