New wheels coming and just hit 60k

Just got my preorder in for some staggered Rotiform NUE's, very excited for them to come in.

Also just hit 60k on the odometer, pretty crazy


Picture of the car and the wheels for reference:

and the car



Suspension is the next thing to come.

No worries, I'm into different things than most MB people. Take a lot of my notes from the audi/vw and JDM scenes.

yep mandrus mannheim's now, what was on when I bought it. NUE's are still on preorder as they aren't available yet, but in August (so long ) I'll have them on and pictures will be up! Suspension might come around then too.

white and whiter
those look like the old school Ruf wheels. don't think it flows with the line of the 203, but i'll leave final judgement till i see them on your car.

I am honestly unsure how it will look, but I love the wheel too much to not try it

Rotiform NUE! Ive been on the VW forums a lil too much lately. Love the way they look... They look so stock but not! Why not BLQs if you're gonna get rotiforms? :P

They aren't expensive, but I'll be running them no matter what because I love the wheel. If it's not perfect that's ok, it will still look better (IMO) than any other wheel you can get for the same price.

I'm honestly not a huge fan of the BLQ, especially compared to the NuE

what size you getting them in, 18 or 19? the manheims look like 18s, but hard to tell because of that lip...!

Mannheims are 18, and so will these. 18x8.5 et35 18x9.5 et35, and I've got a 5 mm front spacer and a 12 mm back if I want to use it, but I'm debating moving up to a 275 so I'll probably stay at 35 in the back.. if not, and I go coils, I'll use the 12 and run a et 23 in the back for some stance

Ahh dude yes haha I had a feeling it was the RS4 on VCEs. Your bro went with something bold, which I love. It's not for everyone but I like his car.

Me either, it's been a long enough wait


Here's a set of 9.5's all around on a car to give you all an idea. I'm going to run them without spacers and see how I like it, and go from there.
