Group Buy for 18" wheels and tires!
The group buy is forTHESE wheels with THESE tires. They just look like that we will be able to order the sizes we need.
Here are the group rate prices:
$1029 for both wheels & tires with 1-4 and sets ordered.
$999 for both wheels & tires with 5 or more sets ordered
Also, each wheel weighs approximately 25lbs. And i was told by them that the wheels are very light and have a very strong construction.
I do not currently know if they are mounted or even shipping costs yet, or even it it will come with bolts.
But first lets see hands to those that are intrested.
Here is a LINK to someone on csportcoupe who has the wheels so we can see what they look like on the car.
THE WHEELS ARE NOT BEING PURCHASED FROM HIM. But i will send that guy a PM now to see if we can buy those custom Mercedes center caps from him. They will look alot better than the ones that come with the wheels.

Don't get 245/40 tires, they are too big and you'll lose power. I'm personally not crazy about these wheels. Can someone get the Moda R6 wheels or a similar 5 spoke at a good price.

R6's are a TireRack house brand wheel. Luke quoted me 835.00 shipped. The Fondmetal 5 spokes that Discount tire sells are very similar and are 150.00 ea instead of 199.00 ea. but I don't like them as well.

A 25 Lbs wheel is quite heavy. A good light wieght wheel should be under 20 Lbs for an 18X7. The six spoke BBS RK is about 18 Lbs and the five spoke Centerline RPM is about 14 Lbs. I'm not sure if the Centerline is made for the w203 though.
