I just placed my order for the TSW Nurburgring 19" staggered in matte black. Going with 245-35-19 up front and 275-30-19 out back. And I will be dropping the car off friday to get h&r lowering springs installed.

Only bad thing is the tsw's are back ordered and I won't see them for a month

I'm very impatient, but at least lowering the car should hold me over.

I probably should have waited until after i installed all this to through the thread up but I'm excited and impatient.

Oh, and I should be getting this for Christmas:

Sorry for the delay,,we do like our toys promptly delivered dont we?
What is the offset you will be running on those TSW's??,Im looking into the Carthage wheels myself.

Big50

Yes we do!

I'm not exactly sure on the offset as I bought them as a package from wheels next.com and I used the wheel finder which picks the correct one for your car. Looking at my email receipt, i believe upfront they are a 32 and 41 for the rears.

stemags

Jee let us know how they fit. I just recently changed out the OEM all seasons for dedicated snows on the split 5 spokers u see in the pic. The offset stamped inside the wheel is 48.
Post pics when u can,good luck.

Big50

It should be fine as I have a 20mm spacer on the rears and they sit flush with the fender. I'm thinking these should be a little more tucked actually.

LOL, I agree, waiting isn't my favorite activity either

stemags

Btw..have you looked into alternatives like ebay? Ive seen lots of the same wheels offered there...sometimes free shipping etc..

hyperion667

I would not want something from ebay.......to many scammers and people who want to rip you off......I'll buy new, or I won't buy.......
I've been hurt too many times before, LOL>....

stemags

Sorry you feel that way bro,,Ive been a member since 99,,buy all my new golf clubs,expensive and inexpensive things,,all guaranteed and authentic,,so maybe you just had a rotten apple.There's bargains in them thar hills

I too, have bought lots of things on eBay and - knock on wood - haven't been burned. My rule of thumb is to "buy the seller, not the product" and if anything seems the least bit off, I'll move on.

Many of the crooks have moved on to Craigslist which still seems like the wild west.

stemags

Zacly how I feel CEB,,its almost automatic now when I need an item what ever it might be,,1st I check the vendor for availability and price,,just for s***s and giggles I'll peruse Ebay. The seller has to have decent feedback and heck,,its usually cheaper there.

Rodney Dangerfield put it best when he said "used books? they've already been read"

stemags

Hey I saw Rodney at his club in NYC for my senior prom,,,he was classic,BTW bro my car was used before I got it and I couldnt be happier. I know some folks get bit,,and they become bitter,but as a rule you could score alot of goodies on ebay.

I got TSW's (Mallory5 matte black) with Michelin Pilot Sport AS Plus this past summer. Front is 245/35-19 and rear is 285/30-19. They were installed with about 3psi more than recommended (sticker on door jamb). Anyone know how to determine or calculate the correct setting?

hyperion667

WW!! you saw him?
very jealous, he was legendary! IMO........

and yeah, I know what you mean, I used to like ebay a lot back in the 90's......
got a lot of stuff from there.......just don't like stuff like that anymore.....deceit is everywhere you turn these days......

stemags

I would stick to whats indicated on the gas filler door. Its never steered me wrong even with aftermarket wheels. If you load up the car...u mite need to increase accordingly.

bigigg

what does the wheel reccomend? If i recall my last set of 19's with low profile tires were filled up to 40psi.

hyperion667

my AMG has two readings: one for 18's and one for 19's, fyi,

stemags

Blimey I gotta get me one of those

hyperion667

you can buy mine if you'd like to
only 5300 miles, just changed the oil, vossen wheels, spare
amg wheels, and a bunch of other parts tooCF diffuser...
I'll need to make room in the driveway for the cls
I really don't want the dealer to get it back you know.....

stemags

Oh God would I like to champ,,,but you're prolly askin more than a left nut and my 1st born child for it

hyperion667

might not be THAT bad, LOL, pm me if you want to

ronjavier

Hi, what's the recommended PSI for the 19s?

stemags

Yeah Hype,,and while your at it,,whats a good pressure for 18's according to you AMG sticker? When I throw the summer wheels on,,gonna need a starting point.

hyperion667

no problem!
