Mandrus Stuttgart
I have been looking around for wheels for a while now and think I have finally made a choice. I am going staggered 19 inch and I am wondering if anyone has a contact where to get these for a great price. I would need wheels, tires and sensors for the car. I am only using them in the summer and will put my factory rims on in the winter with some snow tires. Any help would be great thanks guys.

c3nthusiast.... What sizes did you go with? 20x9 or 20x10 and what do you have for tires? Any More pictures of you car with the wheels?I like your setup. This I think is the only setup I have seen like this one. I have been pushing off new wheels looking around and some how I always come back to these wheels.
How have they held up since you have had them? Any problems? Bend easily? Flat tires more often? I am a very careful driver.
I was told that when you go three piece open up your wallet. The guys over at Town fair told me that I should go with a three piece look and not a real three piece wheel. But I know that I won't be happy. I am trying to upgrade the look and all I have done since I got the car in 08 was tint the windows.

I went with 20x8.5 and 20x10. 225/35-20 and 255/30-20. I tried 285/25-20 but I kept separating belts. Nothing like new rear tires every other month. I am lowered on Eibach Pro's. No rubbing on all 4 corners even with 3 passengers in the back. Well maybe just a little up front. The tire rubs the plastic housing in the wheel well on big dips in the road.
The chrome on the Mandrus is hit or miss. I bought 3 fronts and 2 rears. The chrome isn't the best over time. Seems thin. They well speckle and even bubble after rock hits. You can check their inventory on their website. They may not be in stock. I ordered the Velo's 2 months ago and they won't come into the country until June.
I never get flats. My 19's (3 pc Enkei Aegis on my Maxima) bend easier than my 20's.
