Midnight Koop

nice man!

you are reeeal promiscuous with your wheels and i like it

tommy

If you do, please post up what you find.

Koop - the term is "*****".

phister

lol... wheel "*****" is what I consider myself haha. I know the sl500 18x8.5 are +35. I'm still researching around for what I can find.

phister

So after looking at the backside of the wheels and looking at our hub and calipers I knew the front were going to hit the calipers and I was right. I had to keep the 10mm spacers up front for them to clear but I'm ok with it because it actually pushes it out enough to match how much the rear pokes out. That means I'll have to run a little more camber in the front so I'll be getting the fluted bolts along with the SPC eccentric bolts so I can have more adjustability in the front. Heres some fitment pics and how much they poke out. So I'm going low, stretched, and negative camber.

Front poke




Rear poke




How they look on the car

Sooo pretty

TruTaing

Cant wait to see it all fitted!

phister

yeah I have an appointment on friday to get the rear tires on. The shop doesnt carry the DWS there so I have to order them from tirerack for the front.

StillNDADIRT

That's what's up, this is gonna be so sick. I can't wait to see it

a3i

Oh man these are going to look sick

phister

Thanks guys I can't wait either hopefully I'll have the fronts in by Fri Monday the latest.

havoc_vulture

That is awesome
Hey Phi maybe im dumb but what are the advantages of that type of mutekies ?

phister

The Muteki's SR48 are actually constructed of 50BV30 steel instead of aluminum like some other brand lugs. They are still light, 2oz per lug. Steel lugs are what OEM lugs are constructed out off. They are more durable and have a better holding and contact surface than the aluminum lugs. Like the inserts of my CCW race version, the inserts for the lugs are steel because it gives the lugs a better contact surface.

I see and the open end?

phister

open end accommodates if you're running longer racing studs on the car. Having longer studs is for safety so if the lugs does come loose it has a longer way to travel to come off so the wheel can stay on longer. Most extended lug nuts opened or closed are about 44mm tall so if you have a longer stud then that then you'll need open end so it can go all the way in to tighten the wheel like so.

phister

but if you want to keep the lug bolts and have aftermarket wheels Project Kics makes the Dual Phase lug bolts. Its has an anti theft cap and ket. Its tapered so it wont work on OEM wheels.

heres the product info and pics of it. I would've got these if I kept lug bolts. But theyre about 300 but well worth it if you have some nice wheels and want a good wheel lock and nice lug bolts.

Only comes in 12x1.2 28mm & 12x1.5 35mm
PROJECT KICS DUAL PHASE SYSTEM LUG BOLTS - EURO APPLICATIONS #22216

Created especially for European vehicles, these Project Kics lug bolts are created from super strong SCM435 steel. Each bolt has a special locking cap made from ultra lightweight alluminum alloy. This cap and bolt combination can only be removed with the special key included in each set. It provides a great theft-deterent system. The design also provides a great look to your wheels.

The bottoms are tapered at 60 degrees for flush seating.

These wheel bolts fit on BMW, Mercedes, VolksWagen, Audi, Porsche, and more. Please select the appropriate sizing and pitch thread according to your specific vehicle. Please contact us if you have questions regards to sizing.

Package includes 20 lug bolts, special key for cap removal, and 7 sided key for lug bolt removal.

Now those look like they belong on a spaceship lol
Sick!
Thanks for thequick lesson

phister

no prob mikey... so whats first on the list for the w211

havoc_vulture

Brabus shift knob I kept from my 203
Then tint side markers and windows
Debating on the offset license plate bracket.
And go from there

phister

Not a fan of the offset plate because of our impact strips. I like it centered.

RedStripe

Do they not have euro impact strips that entirely delete the side markers? Ive always thought that looked so much better than doing anything else with them. Other than maybe clear lens on a white car.

phister

got rear tires on and the fronts should be in on Monday or Tues. Pretty good stretch on the rears. 235/40/18 on 18x10s

tommy

Boy that looks good and scary at the same time. I'm assuming that Ft. Worth doesn't have potholes?

phister

it does like crazy right now... We're doing like a 6 year major overall haul of our highways so there's construction everywhere.

ncmudbug

I generally don't prefer the chrome or polished center sections on wheels, but yours do look very nice. It looks like they'll look great on the car! I'm sure you'll post some good pictures!

phister

fully polished is really not my liking either but for some reason the CCWs classic look gorgeous in them.

phister

ok rolled fenders and lowered the rear some more it was sitting higher than what I wanted. So after some MAJOR rolling and pulling the wheels sit nice and flush. I grinded down the bracket some more in the rear just for a safety. Heres some shots of how it came out. Yes I know my car is FLITHY... Gonna was her tomorrow.
