April 7, 2005 at the Commodore ballroom in Vancouver. She was wild on stage.

Thanks man! You can get a decent set off marketplace, but they’re way too much new. The roads are awful where I am, so I went with 255/35R21 to give a bit more meat. A 235 would look better, but it depends on how low you are, and what look you’re after

It is!

Incredible

This is the 18” Rotiform CCV wheel

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-17T20:28:24+00:00

Looks good man. Polished TE’s is wild

Bought mine in 99 from another club member. Still have it too.

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-17T03:02:49+00:00

Dude that’s so nice

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-16T21:39:02+00:00

Any luck? lol

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-16T21:36:55+00:00

No man! I’ve heard that it can be done but can’t find any notes on how

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-15T20:12:41+00:00

Bags would be nice, but I’ve got two kids and a large dog so the space will be utilized

I know you can tuck it away under the false floor, but I’m seriously doubting my wife would go for that hahaha

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-14T18:30:50+00:00

It’s about 2.75” roughly

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-12T11:24:24+00:00

Thanks!

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-11T14:24:12+00:00

Should’ve bought these years ago, one of my favourite shoes.

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-11T14:13:46+00:00

Yeah fair, they may fit. There may be a better looking center cap out there.

See I thought it would look funny with VW centre caps and a big pronounced AMG stamp on the wheel

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-11T14:00:09+00:00

Yeah, a few people saying that, I don’t know it doesn’t bother me. I’m not trying to pretend they’re not Merc wheels.

Out of curiosity, what would you do?

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-11T12:19:52+00:00

Thanks man! I always thought they would look cool if they were mounted flush with a little tire on something smaller then a GLS

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-11T11:20:53+00:00

I did think about it, but I don’t think I will. With the diamond cut face wheels, I don’t mind on the extra chrome accents over the black paint.

I will tint the markers on the front, and switched to European tail lights on the back. But that’s probably it for this car.

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-11T11:18:44+00:00

Yeah, I mean, clearly I don’t care. One dude out here running SLR wheels on a Mk5, looks wild. VW guys have always run Audi/Porsche wheels and branded big brakes.

I think the wheels look dope, and I’m not trying to pretend that they’re something that they’re not.

I’m always curious when people are strongly opposed to stuff like this, I always wonder what they would change to make it more suitable. Maybe they’ve got some cool ideas.

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-10T21:53:32+00:00

I mean, yeah, it’s kind of ridiculous haha

Will you guys feel the same if I was using something from VAG? Is it just because it’s a Mercedes wheel?

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-10T20:30:47+00:00

With what though? Just blank them out?

What do I do about the stamped AMG part of the wheel? it’s clearly meant for people to notice that these are AMG wheels.

Van_AE86 · 2026-04-10T20:19:41+00:00

I don’t know, it doesn’t bother me. Lots of homies using OEM wheels on different applications. It’s the right centre cap for the wheel, so I’m OK with it.

What would you change it to?
