Default BLACK Mandrus Millenium Set Up (PICS!)

Here are some pics of my new (well 7 month old) set up that I just haven't had time to post. Just cleaned them and thought I would share with everyone. They are MANDRUS MILLENIUM (in case you couldn't tell from the thread topic) I replaced the center caps with some AMG ones I bought off eBay. Let me know if you want me to post any more pics!

18'' FRONT
19'' REAR

Very nice. You can't go wrong with the millenniums, and I like the center caps.

Very nice setup......the polished lip really makes the rim standout

+1 on lowering. Beautiful wheels + wrong stance = .

But, the wheels are very very nice.

Those look really sharp on your vehicle. I don't think they'd go well on the SSB but they pop with that white. Very nice!

I am not trying to stir up anything here, because I think that car looks fantastic and have thought about painting the face on my 20s black as well (very similar in style to the mandrus mills)

But....

Why do you have SRT and AMG decals on the car?? I can slightly see the AMG centers on the rims, just because they look soooo good, but the SRT??

I guess I just do not get it, and probably why some of the SRT guys give us crap, saying stuff like the NA is a beginner XF and everyone with an NA wants an SRT. Some of us are happy with our NA cars and do not want an automatic SRT.

Please humor me with a response, and again, no hard feelings, I think the car looks fantastic, just wondering

LOL, I just saw the "SRT DESIGN" badge. I don't think I have seen that badge before.

They came on a few 300's with fancy leather interiors and upgraded exterior trim that made them look like an SRT without any of the performance or power.

Love the set up. I have an '06 Limited in Alabaster and I was torn between getting the polished or black Mandrus rims....'Nuff said with these pics..
Sorry to bite the style..but they look too clean to pass up.

Opinions?? 18/19 inch set up with a 1inch drop OR 19/20 inch set up?? Can someone explain the concept of spacers for the 19/20 inch option?? I'm not well versed on the subject..

I run polished Milleniums on Black. Stayed with 18/19 and did not drop it. There is some slight rub on real tight radius turns. Drop it an inch and you might get a little more rub.

Spacers fit between your wheel hub and the wheel forcing the tire out a bit. This might be needed to clear some of the internal stuff, primarily the emergency brake. Search for spacers and you will find some good info on it.

Don't forget to order some longer wheel bolts when you order your wheels.
