thanks guys...
I'm talking to dressupbolts.com right now to do custom rivets in either burning blue like my lugs or neo chrome like the limited ones CCW use to use. Its going to cost around 500 they said for the custom color and for the 120 nuts i need. GEEZ LAHWEEZ lol... might bite the bullet and do it anyways but i have to send them one of the rivets and it'll take like a month to do. Also ordered the CCW oilslick stickers for my wheels, they forgot to add them when I ordered the wheels.

So I got around to finally ordering my DVD service manual and called the 1800 FOR MERCEDES number and talked to the customer service rep and she said they no longer handle that and I need to go to my local dealership to order it no. So I called my dealer and gave them the PN: P 2700 203 07 and he could bring up anything so I have him the old one with the 06 at the end and still nothing, so he said he'll call me back and see what the deal is. So about 5 mins later he calls back and viola he found it, he said he had to "force it through the system". So just a FYI if you plan on ordering it through the dealer it might not show up at first but tell them they might have to force it through the system to show up. I think they dont want to sell it anymore thats why its hidden in their parts catalog. Theyre charging like 102 for it now, but luckily I had my parts hook up from my friends shop and they took off 40 from the price and I only paid 72 (they charged 10 for the shipping since its special ordered now). For some reason its going to take like almost 2 weeks the parts guy said to come in, I'm just glad I finally got around to ordering it.

My on going project continues, just purchased a new JL 8W3 and a cheap 17" spare wheel, have to admit it doesn't look to bad, so gonna fiberglass a hidden enclose to get my trunk space back. Selling my eclipse 15" titanium sub if anyone wants it. Just the sub though, no box since the one I made is huge. Also selling the eclipse amp that drove it, its the eclipse da6213 2/1 channel amp, use to retail for 600 new, awesome amp but to much power for the JL, I'd keep it if I was running 2 JLs. Pm offers

Since you have the facelift model like me you're going to need a spacer to clear the calipers, even with my +25 offset I ordered they still didn't clear so I had to use 10mm spacers to get them to clear. So if you want to not do any fender pulling you can do +35 and add a 10mm a spacer to get +25 and you'll be ok. Rears iI'd do 18x10 +30 at the highest or you might rub the inside well instead of the fenders.

Do you have any previous experience with them? Just curious about their customer service - am talking to them about bolts for my CRX's steering wheel.

CCWs only go up to 18s, depending if you dont want to do anything like pulling the fenders you can do +20 in front and +25 in rear, but this will require rolling the fender and grinding the tabs. since you dont have a big brake kit in the front you wont require a spacer in the front. Since I have the sports package and the larger calipers, mine required spacers to clear them even though I ordered +25 in the front so im running +15 all around with at least 15mm of pulling the fenders or more.

front 44 and rear 46
im currently using 12 mm spacer front so current offset is 32 and the rear using 16 mm so my rear offset right now are 30
based on your input, i have to ad 12 mm spacer for the front and 5 mm more for the rear, do i need camber kit also?
