vic, those look great! congrats man! 
as for the badges, I think if you go to those shops that do the gold badges, they can do it for you--it's somewhat like a process where they apply it onto your existing badges...
the clear sidemarkers you can get from ebay, but I think if you went with either the euro impact strips or had the sidemarkers painted silver that would be better.

I have no Idea what size they are. However I got them from Wheel Warehouse. I'm sure if you call and ask for Cesear he can help. I told him that I was bringing in some TSW Bremmas and needed hardware. he said not to worry he has them and the rest was history. no grinding etc.. you can go to the wheelwarehouse.com and find thier number , give him a call.

what tire shops usually carry Toyo's? i went to two different shops and they didnt have any. it seems that the toyos are the more popular tires for those who have already mounted them. i went to discount tires and they quoted me at 900+ for i think nittos, i forgot. and my dad has a friend thats like a ma and pop shop that quoted me for 800 for continentals (not my choice in brand, but one of the cheapest so far) any advice?

Ernster,
The guy only had to cut the rear Lug Bolts for you and didn't have to cut the front ones right?
I hope someone will post the real lengths of the rear and front bolts so we don't have to guess anymore. Please someone

No, I had to cut both. I had to cut the fronts by 2 threads and the rears I cut in half.
My suggestion would to do what that guy did and call that place and ask for the bremma hardware. It sounds like that was easy. So it costs you another thirty bucks.
It is worth it to get the wheels on your car.....

i just called and asked him and he told me that he couldnt provide me with any numbers because the lugs are not labeled in any way
now if i recall it right, neither the front nor the back ones fit perfectly for a c230? i thought the back ones shouldnt make any problems and now with the spacers the front should be okay too
well i definetly learned from this. i will never ever get just wheels again where a proper tested hardware isnt included - way to much of a hassle IMO

I found out that many wheels come without mounting hardware. as for tires I paid $190.00 ea for the front and $210.00 for the back. I went with Toyo T1R - I think this is what i paid, I'll double check,
