After a 2 month wait my 18 by 9.5 and 18 by 11.5 OZ futura rims arrived. They look totally amazing. They replaced my MK1s which I sold to a forum member "Mike appreciate your understanding!!!!". All I can say is Claus is top notch and his work is amazing. Mounted them this morning, talk about stoping traffic. 7 cars were requesting what year my 8 was and if it was for sale. Must be the wheels. LOL. I think I'm going to buy a set of Gorilla wheel locks. The faces are in a satin with polished lips. Rears have a 4 inch lip and the rears have a 3.5 inch lip both fully polished. They are worth every penny spent!!!

If anyone was thinking about ordering Schitzer, Hartge, Mitos or Futuras, Claus is the man. I don't think I would ever have found these here in the state, expecially for the price I bought them for.

2 months? Meh. Try waiting 6 months.
Pics?
Just posted Pics
Nice. How about a closeup of the wheel?
Super nice! There is nothing like a pretty set of wide polished step lipped 3-piece wheels and in particular, OZ manufactured.

1badzr1....two questions for you
1- what rotors are you using?
2- with those 11.5 inch rear wheels, did you have to roll the fenders?

I know the felling, you didn't mentioned the of set.. but i guess it's the same one i got from Claus
With my 285 tires i needed to stretch the fenders quite a bit..

Thank you. Mine don't sit out as much as yours. I am not sure of the offset. I went with 275 35 18. I didn't want to modify my rear fenders. I asked him that I wanted the same spec. as the Blue 850 that is pictured on his website. In fact he is going to post my 8 on his website as well. I just sent him this set so he could pick.

Do you think this guy Claus can help me out with an extra set of center covers and center cap badges for the hamann/futuras?

Thanks, I'll try to get a hold of him. I'm paranoid about losing one of the center caps and being stuck with no replacements.
PS...your bolt is in the mail my friend.
