waiting for new wheels..maybe next week

István

Hello!

And What happens with the Aeros?

ROLLNNN

what wheels are you getting?

a3 german

Aeros are sold

new wheels at home. waiting for spacers/stud conversor



8jET50 and 10jET47 18", 25mm spacers all round (i'm not sure yet if it will be the correct poke)

FreshVibes

Can't wait to see them on! Wish I could change wheels as fast as you can! haha.

a3 german

I have sold the aeros for the same price that I get the porsche wheels.. the money that I lose was on the spacers/stud conversors

I'm also very curious about the result

FreshVibes

Btw! When you were temporarily running SL wheels, were they a direct fit and what size spacers were you running at the time? I'm quite curious and might be looking into picking up a set! They looked great on your car when you had them! :-P

a3 german

hmm if you're talking about alphards..they are 8,5 ET35 and 9,5 ET40. I was running no spacer in front (no coilovers) and 20mm's (or 16mm, not sure, sorry) at rear, with 225 40 R18 front and rear tyres

FreshVibes

Woops! Maybe I should have quoted the pic. :-P But I was referring to these S-class wheels that you had temporarily on! They look so good on your car..

a3 german

oh! thats not alphards, but yes they are also SL wheels (botth models have equiped the SL)..they are also OEM 8,5ET35 and 9,5ET40, but my setup in that picture was 4 wheels 8,5ET35. I was running the same 16mm's (i guess) rear spacers and in that time I was running also 3mm front spacer. They look great on w203 imo..but they're too much OEM for me..

with porsche's I plan to get the same clean look, but with the impact of the 10" rear wheels and the innovation of fit porsche wheel on a merc...I never seen any w203 with that

Hello! Nice rims but in my opinion they are not really for Benz. I prefer the OEM rims to other brands wheels. For sure it is going to be a uniqe with Porsche rims.

I have sold the CLS and either the 19" AMG rims. I have a flat in process, I invested almost all of my money in it but I hope it is worthy.
On other hand I have a set of Schmidt Th line 14" for sale yet. They are really beutiful but for me totally useless, only for deal...

i've always like the bmw e46 wheels

if you r not sure to choose the correct spacers go to www.willtheyfit.com u will get a visualization of ur poke before and after u change ur wheels. it really helps me a lot hahaa. and i think 25mm spacers still not enough tho:P

and i always like AC Schnitzer wheels (type 2 and 3> concave monoblock also all the 3piece one) and a bbs RC concave for BMW)

a3 german

thanks for comments

well, i like many bimmer wheels, but i love the porsche ones and I think i will like the result..

about the offset, well, i allready know willtheyfit.com, I used it many times before..but I think 25mm spacers is good fot what I need..let's see... if not then i will have a serious problem because I just like to see wheels if they have the correct poke...

a3 german

btw...225 40 allready on the 10" rear wheels

phister

looks like you're going for the vw crazy of porsche wheels on their cars... I like the 2/3 piece version of your wheels like on this beetle

a3 german

i also love that artec turbo's

one preview. the rear will have an extra poke of 9mm's and the center caps still didn't arrived portugal..

phister

looks good, it almost looks like the stock ss wheels that have been twisted lol clean look

a3 german

hehe yes phister, thanks

but it will look better i'm sure when the center caps arrives and with the extra 9mm rear poke.

I will also try to lower more the car..

phister

Ya the rears look like can be out more for a more aggressive look.

tiga88

yep, definitely diff but nicee
so envy of having porsche wheels.
ur rear ET 22 right? go bigger than 9mm spacer. i think final ET 10 is the best look hehe :P, but u need more camber and fender roll if u wanna lower more

a3 german

yes 22 tiga, with the 9mm spacer it will be ET13, I know that would be better with more poke, but i'm afraid that with the 9mm it will rubb..

I'm thinking about get some coilovers because if the car isnt really lowered, no one wheel set will look perfect on the car

TTR

looks sexual man!

Akhafeez

damn you really pulled it off! Props!

Steff95

Your car looks awesome!

What headlights have you put on? Is it the OEM facelift headlights?
