Stern wheels

Anyone heard anything about Stern wheels? I'm looking at the ST-7 (very similar to the ADR M-Sport, but you can get it in chrome) and wanted to know if anyone had an experience with this brand.

Thanks in advance,
Eric

I seen some st2's on a bmw, guy said he loved them, he had them in 19x8.5 ! I do know the offsets are 38mm on the 8.5 and the 9.5 rims is like 15mm ! which sucks !

I just got an email from one of the distributors. He told me I could get them with a 35mm offset on both the 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. That should work, right?

Correct me if Im wrong, but a 35mm offset would stick out too far.

After looking at the site, the ST11 wheel is pretty sweet. I hope those will come in the correct offset.

Are these high priced wheels?

I was quoted $831 for the set of chrome ST-7s, plus shipping.

Are you sure the 35mm offset won't work?

Was that price for the 18s or the 19s?

I was under the impression that any offset smaller than a 38mm will stick out too far.

35mm on a 8.5 will be ok a 35mm on a 9.5 is really pushing it, I have 38 mm, and they are barely in the wheel well.

Ebay, from Euro Wheels USA. http://stores.ebay.com/euro-wheels-u...toreviewQQtZkm
The auction for these rims is for a different bolt pattern, but I emailed them and they said they can get them in a 5x120 pattern.

I'm going to see if I can get a different offset for the 18x9.5 rims. What do you guys think, 35mm be ok for the 8.5 inch front and 38-40mm for the 9.5 rear?

Thanks,
Eric

a 38-40 should be perfect for the wider rears.
