Default 19" Radenergie R10 on a Z??

Ok. Through my research it seems like these wheels are made for german cars only. However, I have the opportunity(according to a wheel wholesale acquaintance)to order a set of these wheels for my car. He has assured me that he can get these wheels prior to the drilling of the bolt pattern and can get them for any application. I'm going to get some final details from him tomorrow but am a little worried. Does anyone know for sure if this is standard practice for wheel merchants? Can they buy the wheels from the manufacturer with a custom or rather a completely different bolt pattern? Here's a link to the site. It's a great looking wheel.

The companies that import them get them without being drilled. They do this so they don't have too many layin around that they can't move.

Ok good. I was unsure. Seems like an easy thing to do but you never know the restrictions of things if you aren't "in" the business.

Here's a few shots of them on various BMWs and MBs. The 645 is wearing the exact same ones I've ordered.

The black ones are sick. I thought about getting them but didn't know if I'd want them in the long run. They should arrive a week from Monday and I'll have them on that night.

BhashaZ, they are NOT cheap. Luckily, I have a good hookup because I wouldn't even entertain the thought of buying these at retail

Those are absolutely beautiful....

Did you go with the exact finish on the 645's?? It looks so aggressive with barely any wheel gap.

Hopefully the offsets will push your wheels out perfectly, good luck with everything I'm looking forward to seeing them fitted.

Thanks man. Yeah the finish is the same as the ones on the 645. I don't remember exactly what the offset is but it should be pretty flushed. 8.5 up front and 10 in the back.

Radenergie is the Work/Volk of DTM wheels. Definitely high-end, and gorgeous. But personally, I would rather put JDM wheels on a Japanese Car, and DTM wheels on a German car.

They look like a high-end custom wheel maker?? So maybe more like HRE in the states?

I think the Volk/Work of the DTM world is more like BBS or OZ?? A more large production, off-the-shelf offsets, racing wheel.

I think thats right. Usually you'll see Radenergie with HRE. They are about the same price from what I've seen. Should be relatively light too. I think I remember reading that the 20" was around 25lbs.
