In all seriousness, great choice moving away from the Carlsson's. The DCR's make the car stand out just a 'bit more and a 'bit more aggressive.


thanks drex. it's a bit more aggressive for sure. the Carlsson's were more of a luxury look.

The photo doesn't really show the width of the tire. It is hidden by the shadow and does not show up. The tire size on that car is 275/30-19. This is the same width that comes on the rear of a Corvette C5. The picture/angle was taken to illustrate how a 10" wide wheel with a 275 wide tire does not stick out past the fender or rub. Hope this helps

Opinion on Mandrus wheels...

What does everyone think about Mandrus wheels? I am thinking of purchasing a set of 18" or 19" Mandrus Milleniums. Quality, finish, etc?

Thanks!

Any wheel can be sold on Ebay, so I don't see how that matters...not sure what manufacuter they knockoffs of. They are similar in style to Carlsson 1/16. But Mnadrus is a division/line of TSW. For more

From what I have read Mandrus is an "elite" brand made only for MB by TSW. They have a line for BMW, Corvette, and Porsche... I wouldnt compare them to HRE or anything but they seem to be nice wheels.

Your car is the one that made me want these wheels!!! Your running the stock suspension right? I have a 320 non-sport edition so I am going to have some H&R springs installed also. That should give me about the same ride height as you. Car looks great man...very clean!

I think they look good. Also similar to Renntech Monolite.
What's the price range on those?

The fronts run about $240 each and the rears about $260 each for 19's. Still debating on 18" or 19". The 18's are about $15 less.

$15 for one more inch?

There is a male enhancement company out there that would love to boast those numbers.

I would love a set of the 19" staggered Milleniums, unfortunately, Bank of America doesn't share my love...
