John from John P(FTroopChief), a few comments if I may. The Mandrus wheels are well constructed as far as I can tell. I have put close to 30,000 miles on mine on 2 cars and still riding good. I can see the advantages of your Wilhelms in that they have fewer spokes and more room for cleaning. My Milleniums are a bear to clean. The fronts are 8.5 and the rears 9.5 having a wider lip and also a wider footprint on the tire. Be sure to instruct tire changers to be careful with their impact wrenches. The wheels are soft nick easily.
The SRT6 wheels are stock size and are easier to clean, especially now that I have put new Rotex Gold brake pads on the front of both cars. I forgot to mention I also installed
Sprint Boosters on the accelerators of both cars. If you have never tried one, beg, borrow or steal a "friend's" car with one and you will be hooked.
Cosmetically you may want to check centercaps.net and click browse Mercedes. You may even find some caps in a salvage yard. Just make sure they are pulled from the inside of the wheel. There are about 5 different types with sliding costs. My shifter I got at Auto Zone for about $15. A friend gave me a set of valve stem caps with tri stars on them. I have no idea where he obtained them.
Throw up some pics of your beauty and we'll "clean up" on the colors. The SRT fascia is a killer. I'm lookng at the cupr r mods, but undecided. centercaps.net

Keep up the good work,
BTW: 2 suggestions for getting the water out of the lug holes. 1. try a Turkey baster and a few Q tips, or 2. some compressed air in a can.

Is there a official thread White XFs look the best or are the fastest?

 

There was one, but I think it died

 

Time for resurrection?

 

Haven't seen a color I like better than Alabaster!
