Just got the wheels shipped out on friday. They should be here by Thursday. I am excited to see how they will fit!!!

Also i wanted to throw it back to my old w124 just to give yall some eye candy. This was when i was running a set of style 5's on it with 20mm adapters all around

I don't know why but I enjoy this thread. Budget builds are the best IMO. Keep it up man, can't wait to see it on the wheels!

Congrats on the sponsorship man! ESM doesn't exactly have the best reputation as far as wheel quality, but it's for sure better than nothing.

Congrats .now don't get this the wrong way. But this car will nickel and dime you to death, I have a 86 560sec. Took me a year to find one that is mechanicaly sound. body work is easy but parts are expensive and really hard to get.

Interior is doable . Unless u have power headrests if you do don't touch it. Wood is expensive to source or refinish. But I can help you out with it. I found new old stock wood for my car but my old one is decent can sell you cheap. Head lights I have a set of usdm .took them off my car you will need right bezel but they are cheap
Again if you want I'll sell it cheap.

where are you located?

[volkswagger84]

test fit the wheels on today. Once i get tires i will be going a bit lower. for sure in the front. rear maybe







HERE ARE THE FRONTS. THE WHEELS IS TURNED A BIT.





I plan on getting the tires before the end of the weekend. also will need some new lugs and im thinking of runing a 10mm spacer in the rear and also rolling the fenders and cutting one coil off the springs in the front and getting the new struts asap. thanks for viewing.

where are you located?

north east PA on weekends Central NJ during the week

one more thing that i noticed
your driver side quarter panel is rusted get it fix now !
if you don't it will get on the inner wheel well and its a big pain in the ass to fix it .

There is a guy that sells the patch panels relativity cheap and they are decent quality .

also stick your head in the truck and look up under the window if you see rust RUN!
all SEC rust there I got lucky mine was very minimal.

What's the specs on those wheels? I'm going to be picking up that 560sec soon.
