HOLY THREAD BUMP

Trying to see if anyone will buy or trade for my wheels. Looking to get on some 2 or 3 piece wheels. I LOOOVE my Monoblocks but getting a little tired of the flashy candy red. Time for them to go to a new home. If I had the money to I'd keep them and get a new setup. But I cannot. :D


Wheels I'm eyeing if anyone cares:
First two sets are owned by a guy I may be meeting up with when I get back to school. Found him in Rare Wheel Awareness facebook group and turns out he lives in Dayton. Said he'd consider trade for either set.



Gotti 17" 3 piece




Weds Kranze ERM (discontinued 2 piece) would eventually change the color and get center caps




Aaaand if my wheels sell instead of trading..


Volk Racing GTP 3 piece 17"




BBS RS-II Anthracite powdercoated 17"




Blitz Type 01



definitely some good choices you got there. I definitely like the gottis or the weds. Curious how the gottis would look though on a mk6

Forget the list I have up there.
2 sets of wheels I'm heavily considering..

BBS LM F1 Edition 17x8/17x9

OZ Pegasus 17x8.5/17x10



Pics random from the internet


BBS on Rzarektah's car from this forum





OZ's again random google image, not sure whose car this is but fitment would be essentially like this not bagged

you can never go wrong with either honestly. I definitely love oz pegasus but if you are into mesh then you can't go wrong with bbs lm. There is this guy that is selling a fully polished oz pegasus and its worth drooling over imo.

See the thing is I never really cared for the run of the mill LM, probably because of all the bros out there running the 30,000 different replicas made. Them I saw the LM F1 edition and I fell in love. But I'm also in love with the OZ's! [emoji35]

Yea I guess that's why I'm not huge with mesh type wheels since it is one of the most copied designs. Also they are a pain to clean lol. Although one of my dream wheels are bbs rs up sized to 18s. Hopefully I can add it to my ever growing collection lol.

Long overdue update... I sold the AMG's finally and got some new ramz. Weds Kranze Glossa. 18x8 +46 front 18x9 +46 rear. All pics are of the rears. Gonna do probably 215/35 Nankang's all around.











Plus a cool old cockpit shot that I don't know if I posted or not.

I'm back in town for a long weekend so I got to test fit my wheels. Front fitment is essentially the same as my winters so I didn't bother but I wanted to see how the rears fit. Will have to drill the lug holes out slightly to properly accommodate the wobble bolts. Excuse the shitty pictures, the garage lighting was awful. First couple pics of them not on the car are of the fronts.
And yes, I am aware that the wheel is on the wrong side of the car.
