Default Zuffenhaus/Fikse Fuchs on the M491

Took about 8 weeks to have them delivered. I went with the brushed lips and satin black centers. I would have liked the RSR finish, but I like the darker centers on the light colored exterior color of the car.

She's sitting on 9X17 on the front and 11X17 on the rear. I'm running Nitto NT05s on her right now. 255/40R17 front and 315/35R17 rear. No rubbing at all. Would have liked Kumhos, but the wait was too long! Lol. Ride is really nice.

She's at the parking lot at work here - I'll get some better pictures later after she's all cleaned up. These pics don't do her justice.

The black interiors are much nicer than the RSR finish, in my opinion.

I might be crazy but I think you want 245/40-17 to maintain the stock tire diameter up front.

I researched tire sizes ad nauseam. In fact, I based my wheel sizes on the tires I would buy. I didn't want to purchase wheels that I couldn't find tires for. Ideally, I would have gone with 15" wheels so I could have had a lot more tire. Tires for 15" were either going to be track tires or street tires from Coker - which cost way too much.

Most of the people I talked to were running 255's on the front and 315's on the rear. Although I did find those who ran 235's or 245's on the front. I wanted to put as much tire as possible on the wheels so it didn't look low prof and too modern.

Thanks!

Yes, these are the same guys that make wheels for Singer. My order was behind 17 sets that were going to Singer, so I think that's why it was delayed some. Here's a link to their site: https://www.zuffenhaus.us/cgi-bin/co...ion&key=ST-613
