Haven't heard back from MachV about the TD 1.2s, so I'm wondering about waiting for the red RSe05's. I think they might look pretty good on a back R55 with the red roof and mirrors...

Anyone know if the end of the month availability date is reliable?

That is what Jerry at NM told me last week. The red is supposed to be a close match to the Chili Pepper Red. They should look great with the red roof and mirrors.

I'd say it's pretty reliable. The black weren't supposed to be available till the end of the month either. I'd been talking with Jerry at NM for quite some time before the release of these wheels and he'd told me black at the end of month. They came early, Way early so I think you'd be safe on that. Red would look excellent!!

After checking today, looks like the red RSe05's have been pushed back again to mid-late October.

If anyone is in need of some "MINI" centercaps for your NM Eng. wheels, I have a slightly used set.



Shoot me an e-mail if you are interested. Price is very reasonable.

I am picking a set up Friday. Also at $259 a wheel that is on the cheaper level of wheels for what they are.

Nice wheels! With these NM rims on 215/45/17 rubbers and lowered by 1.2" on a R56, anybody can advise whether will it rub on full load (4 adults) if I use a 5mm wheel spacers all round?
