Count me in for the matte black too, assuming that this group buy is really going down and that the bolts/ lugs are included, because i wont run around again to find the right bolts/ lugs length, because those idiot dealerships dont know the difference between cone and ball seat and wanted to screw some in the back way too long which would have messed up my parking brake.

Remember guys, they need at least 7 people per finish. You're going to have to convince the Hyper Black buyers to switch to Matte Black or find at least 5 more buyers if you want those.
kickR: Bolts and center caps will be included.

I'm sure they'd do any finish we could dream up, but let's not complicate matters. First we have to make sure they will fit on our cars. Last week I was informed that our test set is currently in production, but I'm not holding my breath...

These wheels + my car, and carlabms.com
Hey everyone. I was thinking of getting the Mandrus Millenniums for my car after I have a few other things sorted out with it. I know some people like these, some people hate them, but I think on my Silver C240 they'll look good without spending thousands of dollars just to get rid of the stock look. If I were to get 18x8.5 with a 32 offset in the front, and 18x9.5 with a 35 offset in the back, I wouldn't need any spacers or anything like that right?
My second question... is that carlabms.com site still around? I saw it posted in another thread while checking around for these wheels and someone said they might have them, however, the thread was quite old and the site didn't work when I tried it. Thanks for any replies.
Edit: An afterthought: Would any MB center caps fit any wheels, or is there a size I should look for?

If you don’t mind me asking, whose spacers did you install and how thick are they? Any issues with sufficient bolt engagement or vibration?
Reason being, I’m running 8½ X 17, 34ET (OE AMG rears) up front to help alleviate understeer. Even with the stock 225/45/17s, there is less than 1/16 strut clearance. Some of the track guys (Fifth Ring, AWDman) on the C32/55 forum are using the same spacer-less wheel with a 245/40. That’s not going to work for me unless I can source a proper spacer. Any advice would be most appreciated.
