That's what I was talking about in my post earlier about this car....




Looks to me like this one has the same issue!

Blake P

Based on the current production for Audi and BMW's, the regular sizes and offsets VMR offers will not work for Mercedes, which is the whole purpose of this group buy in the first place in order to have the V715 wheels custom made to fit MB's. In order to work with the Mercedes hub design, as well as big brake and coilover fitment, we need specific offset and lip size. Based on discussions today with Wilson at VMR, they are currently working to determine whether or not they can accomodate us. Hopefully we should know within a week or so.

Blake P

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!

Blake P

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.

EDIT: It looks like we already have 4 people interested in Hyper Black (Adamvax, JonB C240, overboosted, & Eurowow), so we only need 3 more to reach the 7 we need for custom finish!

C24owner

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.

tozfeekum

Well blake i was thinkng about buying your wheels, but i don't know anymore these look nice and i can get them in 19's....

mzcloud

Blake P

It's completely up to you. I'm sure I can find a buyer for my wheels anyway.

Hyper Silver is a much nicer finish. It's just a little darker than regular silver and will look great on your car.

rlee02135

switched something

Blake P

TRAITOR!

rlee02135

haha...gotta stay with black on black

Blake, see you shoulda bought my HRE 840Rs when I was selling them. I decided to keep the car and got the Monoblock S reps from D. Doesn't have a lip but I really like them. Good luck with the group buy, let me know the next time your in town.

rlee02135

Greg, you gonna do any other modding?

c230Pilot

when will be the last day to get in? i don't have the car yet, but hopefully will be soon. If i have it or am close i'll be in for sure for hyper silver

thanks

ggong5150

Dunno yet, I'm looking for a bumper possibly, I have my factory one back on. I'm not gonna get crazy modding the car again since it is my daily driver.

crazyfox

how much you are willing to let go of your wheels?

Blake P

I can't sell them to you... we need you for the group buy!
