After some thought, I'll join in....but only on the condition that I will not have to use spacers if/when I upgrade my brakes (C32 AMG calipers/rotors are direct bolt-ons to a C320, right?)

Hey Mikey,
I've been lurking here and there. I've been going nuts as this GB has sat inactive for far too long. Anyways, had quite a bit of time to consider opting in...and so it happened. Small up-front cost I can handle at this point in time.
Other big-ticket mods will wait a little longer as I have to get my daughter's Volvo repaired - she ran into a pole smashing in the right front fender, signal light and scuffed-up the bumper with pole-yellow paint. Daughter's fine, she just was not paying attention to where she was going.
Tried to get my wife to drive the car today - she was in Hayward. Maybe you would have crossed paths.
Did you ever get the hub-centric rings from your supplier? Well, depending on how long this GB takes, it may make no difference.
See you around,
Raleigh
