We’ve seen a good share of aftermarket components available for the Mercedes SLS AMG, and the latest tuner to join the list of suppliers is Lorinser who has launched an exclusive wheel set for the German winged coupe.
Named the RSK8, these three-part forged wheels features stainless steel bolts and 7 spokes each, and have been created using state-of-the-art production processes that assure high quality. The Lorinser RSK8 Mercedes SLS AMG wheel set is one of the lightest on the market right now, and according to the German tuner, the reduction of unsprung masses in these rims help improve the car’s braking response as well as handling.
The Lorinser RSK8 wheels measure 9.5 x 20 on the front axle and 11 x 21 at the rear, and the recommended tires should come in these dimensions : 275/30 ZR 20 and 295/25 ZR 21.
Lorinser did not mention how much does the RSK8 wheel set cost, or if this represents a preview for an upcoming upgrade program that will involve additional ponies packed under the bonnet. We’ll definetly keep you posted so stay tuned.
