Those are ONLY 17?!
They look huge!
I want but then I would definetely have to lower my r56

 

Thanks

Schmidt Racelite's

 

Wow, how long did it take to import those?

 

Funny you say that, cause I actually did get them from overseas, got them from Ireland ebay brand new. Only took a week and a half to ship too.

I believe you can order them from NGP here in the states though, I just couldn't pass up the deal I found.

 

Konky I have to admit...........you do know how to set it off. All your wheels look just right.

 

hmmmmmmmmmmm....but the guy IS a master of photography! Maybe they don't look that good in person! I highly doubt it...great looking wheels, as usual!

 

haha thanks guys! I'm always up for changes, so who knows how long these will last?!

 

^well put me first in line if u decide to change

 

Hahaha, I kind of took a wild guess since they were Schmidt's. Haven't these been out of production for 5 years? That is what I heard while looking up info on them...
Are yours new or used?

 

Only if you get coilovers first haha

 

Your next set of wheels should be Konigs or some replica wheels....i heard those are good

 

Better still, I heard Palo Uber was coming out with some low offset, wide wheels for you guys.

 

I'll redo the entire suspension set-up if i could get those wheels to set it off

 

even the uber wheels would look fine with a certain amount of drop
so get the coils....

 

interesting... I didn't know they were out of production, guess that's good for me Mine are Brand New

 

While I was searching for better pics(I mean full wheel pics, your photography is amazing) I kept reading that they were no longer in production, but it was on other forums and such...I don't know how reliable the info was

 

Ok, so I found this site:
http://www.german-wheels.com/
and looked through it. There still are racelites, but I don't know if they are the same as yours...good site to look through though

 

Those are the 3 piece versions, which are nicer, but alot more money too

 

That's where my lips came from

 

Yeah, I knew they were 3 pieces, but they said they offered them in 1,2,and 3...I like your one pieces better than the 3 pieces


Cool, good to know. Maybe they can help with bolts in the future...

 

Possibly...but i think schmidts use different bolts than BBS.

 

Ahh, I believe that you are correct...still on the search

 

Does anyone know what type of kit this is? It doesn't look like the factory aero kit and the side skirts don't look JCW... what is it???

 

Factory R50/R53 aero kit with regular textured arches. . .

 

Let me get this straight... the factory r50/r53 aero kit fits the r56? If so, does it need body modification to do so? Are there any other example of people doing this?
