Default Mandrus Mannheim Wheels

Has anyone used the Mandrus Manheim wheels on their Crossfire? Any pictures? Any comment on the quality of the wheels? I was looking at the following tire sizes. Any issues? The Mandrus wheels should be a direct match with 35 offset in front and 25 in the rear. Do I need new lug bolts?

Thanks for the help.

As I learned only mandrus and TSW fit xfires without spacers but look at mine in the gallery and tell me TSW mondello's don't look nicer than mandrus! They are about $1600. I love them! The sizes are the same as OEM tires 225 40 18 8.0 front
255 35 19 9.5 rear

Hope that widens your options

I have had my Mandus Millenium wheels for more than a year and can truthfully say I have received more comments and compliments on the wheels then the car.

I have had my Mandus Millenium wheels for more than a year and can truthfully say I have received more comments and compliments on the wheels then the car. I have 225/40 18 General Exclaim UHP tires on front on 18x8.5 wheels, and 265/30 Generals on rear on 19x9.5 wheels. Front wheels were $225 each and rear were $285 each. Gorilla Chrome lugs were $7 per wheel. Just changed wheels et al with my SRT and was just a plain swap. I cannot make a recommendation for Generals outside the South/Southwest but they are great here in Texas.

check my gallery for pics w tri star caps.

My sumitomo HTR Z III's on those wheels were OEM sizes and cost $111 up front and about $190 at rear. They grip better than the factory Conti's. Mandrus is nice but they have only 4 styles and no chrome?!?! No offence but they don't look much different than the stock wheels!
Don't get me wrong, they are nice! I just love Chrome!!!

Are these the only wheels that will fix the Xfire without spacers. It looks like there would be other manufactor that would produce wheels without spacers considering the runnung gear is MB. I would like to have some chrome wheels, but am afraid to buy not knowing anything about what fits. You read a lot of stories on this forum about misfitting wheels.

I bought mine from a local shop after seeing that most needed wheel spacers. The guy was very knowledgeable and explained the the spacers can cause problem getting loose and wobbling. He carries dozens of brands but says only mandrus and TSW are a direct tight fit. I really like TSW's line up anyway so it was an easy choice and I love them! You can find good looking wheels cheaper but use spacers at your own risk. The pricey alternative is custom wheels that will fit perfect but they tend to cost twice what I paid.

Good luck

Having a hard time posting pics. Vern I got mine at Discount Tire in Kerrville. I imagine all DTs could get them. Took about a week. All TPMS were rebuilt. Google Discount tire and check their virtual wheel section. They list a number of wheels with the 5-112 bolt pattern.
Mandrus shows a chrome Millenium. All prices are negotiable eyeball to eyeball.

Ok, they don't look nicer than Mandrus! Hey, you asked for it. Oh, and yes, Mandrus does have Chrome. The Milleniums come in chrome as do most of their other styles. They are pure class and are in keeping with the design of the car. Most aftermarket wheels look out of place. Some, like yours, look decent, but they don't look quite right; like something's missing.

Just my opinion

Oh, and to the OP, I say go for the Manheims if they offer the correct offsets in that particular style! You would be the first as far as I know, but strongly consider going up a size for the extra oomph. It would look beautiful!! Peter at getyourwheels.com helped several of us and knows exactly what our cars need. Discount tire is good too, but I'm not sure they completely know the issues we have with wheels being tucked in too far.

What wheels are on the two cars in your post and what size tires do you have F&R. Really fills up the wheel well nice.

My mistake about the chrome I looked at the wrong one in the book. Those do in fact look nice However if you like to keep close to the factory look you can do the Chrome Exchange for $750. There is a company on ebay stores that will do it. I would have but I wanted the different look. Here is the link. Call them if they are sold out and they may have and extra set.

eBay Store ? L.A Wheel And Tire Factory Wheels: Search results for.

Those two cars are the same car, my car. I'm lowered on Eibachs and Koni adjustable shocks (best mod, the ride is awesome!). The wheels are 19 and 20 inch Mandrus Milleniums. Tires are Falkens, 225/32/19 fr. and 275/30/20 rear.

To each their own. My taste just happens to be different than yours.... but..... Your TSW's do not even come close to looking as good as the Mandrus Milleniums. But then it may be that I am just becoming an old fart, and I can't recognize what is cool and hip!

Do a search for "Mandrus Milleniums" and you will get to a post of mine from couple of months ago. There you will find pictures of 18/19 hyper silver on a black car. No spacers just new lugs. Been really happy with them.

I really like the looks of the milliennium's in chrome, but I was wondering what my black srt roadster would look like with the Gloss Black w/ Mirror Cut Lip. Anyone have these... or thoughts about how they would look? Thanks Millennium Wheels
