2014 Mercedes-Benz SL 550 (R231) | 19" 2-Piece Forged · Polished Face + Carbon Fiber Trim Ring

Engineering Notes

The Evora runs an unusually high rear offset—ET63—and getting that wrong means the wheel either fouls the suspension or sits proud of the arch. We machined to the exact ET47/63 staggered spec and held the 5x114.3 / CB68.1 bore hubcentric so there's zero vibration on a chassis this communicative. At 11.3 kg the forged monoblock comes in well under a comparable cast wheel, preserving the Evora's low unsprung mass—the very thing that makes its steering feel telepathic. The polished-silver finish over a forged face is a precision job: any waviness shows instantly under a mirror polish, so the face must be CNC-perfect before polishing.

From Design to Delivery

• CMM dimensional inspection on PCD, bore & offset
• Dynamic balancing on every wheel
• Load-rated to 850kg per wheel

Result

A lightweight forged set that respects the Evora's purist DNA—low unsprung mass keeps the legendary steering feel intact, while the mirror-polished silver finish gives this rare Lotus a clean, timeless look.
