I had forgotten about the OG Sans. I couldn't imagine keeping those clean though. :impatient

How do you keep your RM's clean?

Right now, it's going to be between the Konig (Maxxim) 16x7.5 meshies or the 16x8 +20 RB's.

I've always liked the OG Sans though. Wonder if my man can get me a set of those.

Haven't really gotten it down to a set process yet....but lots of patience and using my index finger and a microfiber towel to get in the mesh so far.

It's going to be roughly 15-15.5 lbs per wheel.

I have contacted suppliers of the konig and spun supermesh. None can give me a definative answer. I would give my left nut to know if these in 16x7 will fit an 07 mcs without a stud conversion or spacer.

Shame you aren't in my area, I'd definitely let you try one on to make sure.

They're just sitting at home in my basement right now.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I did some searching and couldn't find any info as to whether these fit R56s. Any clearance issues with the brakes? Do they fit the fatty 14mm lugs? Thanks in advance.

I don't think the R56's 14mm Bolt would clear the bolt holes.

Anyone have confirmation regarding Supermesh fitment with the 14mm lugs on a late build '06?

Are those any different than a R56's lugs?

Any Orange County, CA, owners willing to do a test fit on my car?

Same lugs, but smaller brakes.
