New rims

The stock rims were wasted by the previous owner and a year of searching I finally settled on a replacement. TSW Nurburgring in gun metal.



I also blacked out the grill and installed a 204 flat badge I had laying around.



And some reasons I love my job

Dammit, you beat me to it! I was considering the same but powdercoated gloss black...the flat face and deep well reminds me of an ALMS car Is this the ET40 9.5 rear? Did you use spacers? What size tires?

Absolutely LOVE them...the gunmetal looks damn good with the Mars Red too, I couldn't have pictured they would go so well together. Well done!

More pics please!

I went with 18x8.5 et 32 fronts with 225 and 18x95 et 40 rears with 255. I can go 265 in the rear. I need a 3mm spacer up front to do a 235 or it will rub the shock.

where did you get the mercedes centercap to fit them? I've had the TSW Snettertons for years and have never been able to find them to fit!

I used stock center caps that I painted. They fit perfectly.

Great looking

Looks really great! Like some of HRE wheels.
And it's the first car that looks sweet with a black wheels!
