I really like these wheesl:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Me...6307QQtcZphoto
Problem is the front is 18X8.5 with a 35mm offset, I know the offset is a bit high, can anyone verify these fit? I'd prefer not to go with a spacer. Anyone run these yet? Thanks.

so on this GB we all have to get the same color and fitment correct? spacer free?
IMO the hypersilver would look nicer in contrast to the polished lip. hyper black is also nice, but i think it makes the wheel look a tad cheaper.
we need 10 ppl for the gb?, damn were pretty close.

Ok one last question then I promise not to keep posting about the same damn issue. I found a set of the rims I like with the correct offset and width, as verified by the fitment chart conveniently provided at the beginning of this thread here they are:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...5569597&rd=1,1
18X8.5-check. 30mm offset-check. Ebay seller saying this will ONLY fit SL models from 1990-2002???? So, is there some reason these wouldn't fit on my W203? The only number I couldn't verify would fit is the hub bore (66.6mm) but all other numbers (offset, height, width) work perfectly. Does anyone know if there is something about wheels for a R129 that won't fit on our vehicle? Thanks.

Anthuny: Yes, everyone must get the same finish for the group buy. I agree with you completely regarding Hyper Silver. That color looks incredible... not too dark, not too light... basically like a light gunmetal. Nobody has even expressed interest in Super Silver, so the GB will be for Hyper Silver. I am working with Velocity to even allow those who want to pay EXTRA for other finishes, but they haven't even agreed to that yet. Yes, 28ET = spacer free.
Steve: 18's are not even slated for production yet, so it isn't happening if you have to have em that size.
C24owner: I asked about the possibility of non-staggered sets and have gotten no response yet. I can't see why it will be a problem for them to just make 4 front wheels instead, but they did specifically say that all sets must be identical.

hmmm...
I just taked to someone at VMR,,,the maker of this wheel,,,and they said they dont have any plans on making this wheel for a mecedes, cause by design it just wont work,,,,something about the center of the front wheel would stick out "inches" past the lip. something about mercedes, crazy hub design.....
he said they do make them already in 5x112 for the audi cars but never for mercs
?
maybe i am missing something or maybe he was just the wrong person to talk to and someone else in the company is doing this custom order,,but he sure did seem like he knew what he was talking about,,,
