I had similar wheels on my old e36. Nice to look at, a *female dog* to clean/keep clean

For me, 256 and F1 GSD3. Good luck.

Total Weaksauce !! It would take me a week max to get those *** things on.

Someone needs to step TFU !

anything that would speak against having 255/35/19 in the rear, rather then 255/30/19. would it bring me that much close to rubbing with 3 people in the back? i have no idea how the fender looks like and the slope of the sidewall so i cant really imagine it.

because those goodyear eagles are really tempting with their performance - price ratio, but sadly they dont have a 255/30/19 and i dont want 265

and anyone ordering from tirerack getting that road hazard thing? didnt seem to be that amazing after reading a little of the conditions

a 5mm space isn't so bad. when it starts getting up to 10mm then you should worry about a major vibration. carlsson wheels are a great choice!

white_w203

not bad. they look like breyton wheels.

vic32amg

you guys are ridiculous. I have these wheels coming in the next shipment - next week or whatever and i bet i'll be the first to post a pic. There are like 100 people on the forum with the TSW bremmas , they made it work no prob. I think you guys are to concerned with saving a buck than getting bolts period. any reputable wheel shop will have the " so called " mystery bolt.

amazing ...

haters ball.

Kinda looks like the magics(Breyton). I was thinking more or iForged Retros or the Revs because of the rivets or whatever you call them. Either way, I'm very satisfied with the wheels!

I think Frank said they were Breyton Magic Racing reps.

I was just looking at the regular(?) Magics on TireRack. I just did a search on Magic Race and sure enough they look exactly like it.

Carlsson wheels are all et40 offset. You'll need to purchase Carlsson spacers for each wheel. Mine are 7-10mm for the front and 5mm for the rear...have to double check. They come labeled, so I didn't really bother to check.

if you are talking about the replicas et38 may or may not work for the 1/16 replicas 19x8.5 because some version of this replica has lip and some don't. The ones that don't have lip for 8.5 will likely work. My old LM6 replica was et38 for the 18x8.5 and those cleared the brake with no problem.

FrankW

yup. just like I mentioned.

also good luck on fitting those.

Nice bling!

vic, to be so arrogant you should try to at least make your accusations founded. My shops don't have the bolts. Yes, I have plenty of money. Unfortunately, I struggled to get this problem solved and through the assistance of helpful individuals on this board got it resolved. If you're the first to post pics, congrats and BFD.

Thanks for playing. We have some nice consolation prizes for you in the back.

I went to a few shops today and they don't have these bolts.

Doesn't look too good. I also asked how much tires cost and Toyo's cost $850 which I feel I'm getting ripped off. Still shopping around.

If I can't get what I want, I might sell them(make a few bucks) and get BIX for my car.

I am no detective here but perhaps Neal can help. he sells the TSW Bremma in a package deal for $1799.99 - Frank said these wheels are the exact same - if thats the case contact neal and see if he can get just the hardware. As for my prize for being the first, I can't wait. Hopefully a knuckle sandwich. how about contacting MB parts for the correct bolt. Although the SL and CL use diffrent bolt pattern they could use the same diamiter and length bolt needed for the Bremma, Whatever the case these are some ideas. Money is not the factor and is not the reason I make negative comments. But waiting for my wheels almost a month and then having everyone complain about tire cost and bolts can get tiresome. Do I want tot pay for tires, of course not, no more than any of you, but i knew getting wheels that that would be an expense as well as mounting and balance alignment and its the life of owning a quality car.

At least you don't have the expense of buying TUBI exhaust for an F430 for $15,000.
but thats another story


Carry on

vic,

I agree with you on the complaining about tires. You buy new wheels, you should expect the cost of tires to go with them. Now about these lugs.

I pass along the spec graciously given by Frank, and the shop my wheels are sitting at tells me that those just HAVE to be way too long. But of course they can't tell me what I need. Stealership is no help, because they simply know that the long @$$ bolt on the C55 fits the factory wheel. Anything else would be speculation and they're not interested.

So then I called TSW and asked what I needed for a set of staggered Bremmas for a C55, and they said M12x1.5x32. OK, that is much shorter than the 52 and 70 above. So trust me, I have shiny new wheels waiting at the shop, fatty F1 GSD3s in the garage (killer looking tires by the way), OEM AMG valve caps, black center caps, and no good idea on how to get the farging things on the car.

I would like to end this rant by apologizing for my earlier post. It was a bit pointed, but was more taking out my frustrations about the situation on you. Given the above, your post just hit the red button in the middle of my forehead.

Good luck,

JPOG

Edit: Frank, just saw your post. Thanks again. I'll check it out.

krew944

i agree with you frank...i found these without much trouble. ... i got tires and all already. im just waiting to get them on as soon as i get the drop with tein. it isnt hard to find tires or the lugs.

krew944

im thinking i have the bolts. but i have no idea if they are the righyt one yet. i will find out when i put them on.

kickR

i found this website hours earlier and was looking for these specs of the bolts and couldnt find them on there. Now i have no idea which ones are the right ones on this homepage and yes, maybe i am totally stupid in that regard, but would it be so hard to just point them out?

i see all kind if M12x1.5 but none with 52L or 70L.

as for me, i am new to all this technical stuff with cars etc. until now it was okay as long as it worked and im now trying to get some technical stuff, but please dont expect someone like I to know as much as some of you do, so please help me out here

and just to let you know what i already did for those lame bolts:
i called EVERY autozone and discount autoparts in my area, i called every tire place i could find in the pages, i send several emails to online business selling TSW bremma wheels and NONE could provide me with these bolts ...

FrankW

the size I gave was the length including the hex head and the shank part. Forgot to mention that. apologies on my part for not being clear enough

so yea 12x1.50 32L is correct (the hex head should be 20mm length hense 52L I posted) anything around this range will work.

these would be the closest one for the rear http://www.ezaccessory.com/Lug_Bolt_...hank_p/961.htm

ChristianJan

so these would be good for the rear? what about the front?

FrankW

for the front use the 50mm shank.
