They are Kleeman wheels on a SL55 at the Essen show.
For more pics of this car and the show have a look at this thread.

They are pretty nice, but I am not a big fan of the extreme stretched tire look.
They do have some nice supercharger kits for the mercedes' though, all the way up to 600 hp i I am not mistaking.

Why would a 305 be stretched??? Is it a 13" wheel or what??? A 305 would even be fine on an 11.5" wheel...

they are 25 series plus they are Dunlop's and those always look stretched.My 255's on an 8.5" wide wheel looked a little stretched.

I don't remember the exact with but I think you are close with 13".
The Germans (like the Japanese) like to put really wide wheels with smaller than normal tires on their cars.
