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

this group buy is taking a while but i'm in no real hurry... i know we'll get there sooner or later and when we do, it's ON.
well if u guys ever see me on the road, flag me down! lol just do it in a safe manner.. we don't wanna run into any more poles

Noo, i'm only in on this one. I shouldn't be on the other. I only said I may consider it if I could see the amg on a silver car, and not just a photoshop.
So this is the one i'm pushing for.

Let's hope Uncle Sam is more forgiving this year, because wife's also wanting to remodel her kitchen.
So then, the updated list is as follows:

2. mikeypwr ( mikeypwr@gmail.com )
3. nibo83 (nibo_nicky@hotmail.com)
4. c class 279 (ebwing@aol.com)
5. vic (vic32amg@hotmail.com)
6. JanKenPo (Jankenpo30@gmail.com)
7.
8.
**9. [alternate] bootsy (agr8mind@yahoo.com) if above falls through
