[R129 SL] AMG Package

[George Jenner]

I can't say if they are better but they sure are quiet and hold the road for me.  Total price with shipping for the set = $537.10.  Mounting and balancing = $15 each.  And that makes me very happy.  These are made by Michelin and are Z rated.
275/35/18 rear 245/40/18 front.

  Thanks for your help. Are the Riken Raptors better than the Pilots?

    Phil, from what I have seen and read on the subject the AMG package was offered as an option on the 129 series cars.  This included both the SL500 and the SL600.  The package was a dress up add on and included Xenon headlights (headlamp wiper delete), 18" staggered width wheels with z rated low profile tires, a front body trim and grille change, side (under the doors) body trim with a aerodynamic shape and a rear body trim (under the trunk) panel change.  That is the entire package.  The wheels and tires alone gave the entire car a more aggressive look and wider stance which I like.  I have recently added the AMG wheels, and I fitted these with Riken Raptor (Michelin) tires to my 1996 SL500.  Very happy so far.

    Happy Motoring - George

      Does anybody own an SL600 with the AMG package and is it worth the extra money? What is included?
