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,,,

Wilson at Velocity said they can do a couple of non-staggered sets for the group buy to meet AWD owner's needs, but definitely want to keep it to a minimum, so you're set!

Regarding custom finishes, Velocity agreed to produce a MINIMUM of 7 wheels per finish. What this means is that those who want a finish other than Hyper Silver must also convince 6 others to get the same finish as them. I think it's fairly certain that we have 7+ buyers for Hyper Silver, so in order to get Hyper Black, matte black, gunmetal, etc, there must be at least 7 orders of that finish, which would bring our total group buy up to a minimum of 14 sets. I highly doubt this will happen, but I will order whatever you guys want.

Your confirmation is good enough for now. It looks like we have plenty of interest to get this thing started, but I'm waiting on a couple of people who are still thinking it over as well as the guys who want Hyper Black to get enough others too.
