Shouldn't matter what our opinion is, but since you asked. I'd prefer the MRR GT1 over the other one. How much are the other wheels compared to the GT1 because I don't see a price. Assuming you are going with the staggered set up correct? With the GT1, you are gonna have to roll your fenders seeing as how they run on a low +48 offset depending on how low you're going. I believe member, ulovemybenzo, has them on his car.

I've always liked the looks of the GT1's and was one of my options when i was shopping for a new set of wheels so i would of course choose the mrr's

Good luck in whatever you do choose !

Another round of ICE
GT1 will be a huge pain to clean from brake dust....so on the car, in real use, the Mandrus win.

Thanks for your opinion guys. the MRR's are cheaper, I think they are actually half the price of the Mandrus ones. As far as brake dust is concerned, I am not too worried becasue the ones I want are black and I'm gonna seal them up so hopefully that's make it easier to clean lol

besides, my gf likes the MRR ones too

btw the title was completely a typo...i must have been uber tired from work

I prefer the Mandrus but would go with the Manhiem over the Stuttgart.

Thanks for your responses guys, looks like im gonna go with the MRR's in black. I can't justify paying double for the Mandrus ones. Prob gonna go with continental extremecontact DW tires and I need to drop with coilovers as well.

You can't go wrong with MRR GT1's... it has been tried and tested by many members

For coilovers go with H&R Street Performance... Tirerack has them for $1,200

I find the MRR look very cheap in real life and come off as fake 3-pc as soon as you see them. Get something without fake rivets.
