So I've run into a bit of a snag on a TSW design I'm crazy over. I'm looking at the Zolder, a nice multi-spoke wheel with staggered lips. The design is VERY similar to Mandrus Millenium, but the thing that drew me towards the TSW Zolder was the color selection.

They offer a white version, with machined face and polished lip. From the sales photos, it looks astounding but they do not offer the white wheel in 19x9.5 for Mercedes lug patterns with a +35mm offset...

I asked the salesman at my local Discount Tire, and his reasoning was that "no Mercedes owners would want 19" white wheels..." which, was a moronic statement because the Zolder is offered in dozens of sizes, in white, with Mercedes bolt patterns... only in different offsets and widths.

The 5-112 19x9.5 Zolder is available in Black, bronze, and silver... but no love for the white.

FWIW, they make a 18x9.5 in white in the 5-112 size that I could use on the rear, but I REALLY don't want to lose the staggered diameters the car came with from the factory.

Front wheels are no problem, 18x8 +32mm offset in white, 5-112 bolt pattern are available.

Seeing as the 19x9.5 Zolder is available in white in other bolt patterns, what are the chances that they could perform the white treatment on the 5-112 bolt-patterned version? It's merely a color change, not a one-off size request. If I could just pre-order two of the rear wheels in white in the size I need, I'd be a happy camper.

TSW's website only referred me to dealers, which has been a fruitless effort.

Any help guys?

Thanks,

I think i saw those on wheelfire dot com

There are several websites that carry TSW wheels in general, but I was kinda hoping there would be a vendor on here that might have a direct line to the manufacturing facility, or someone that would.

Most websites simply have a box to check, no more, no less.

the amount you would have to pay to get your own manufactured wheels won't be worth it. just get them powdercoated elsewhere.

This had crossed my mind...

Another thing I'm concerned about is the white "matching". It appears the white used on the wheel is a true white, while Alabaster (my body color) is more of an eggshell/ivory tone. If it isn't a perfect match, it would look strange.

just do bronze and call it a day.

FWI... Mandrus is made by TSW

I believe wheelstudio.com TSWs main reseller. Contact Eric there, he can do anything you want.

I'm not sure if D2Autosport (Sponsor here) is a TSW reseller, but good luck finding better customer service than them. Contact Derrick there, to see what's up.

Until they are covered by brake dust.

I'm running Akebonos... I can drive for about a week before the buildup is noticeable... Thank goodness, LOL

Checking now to see if I can get this done for you. If the route I am trying to take works, it will only cost you an additional $125 bucks.

D2-AUTOSPORT

if you are willing to run an aggressive fitment, I can do a 19x9.5 with a 25et. Let me know if that's a good route for you.

Kreuzfeuer

Very interesting... Care to expound? Shoot me a PM if you'd prefer.

Also, I thought the only offset available in the rear Zolder was +35mm?

+25mm would be perfect, as my factory ET is +22.

Thank you man!!

D2-AUTOSPORT

Sweet, I'll shoot you a PM now
