hey nice ride i like the wheels.....A LOT!!!! i bought 19 inch axis NE-O's for mine...(don't get my car till june though ) and H&R springs already. you think the wheels are too japanese tuner styles? anyhoo if you're interested in lowering your ride, mine will be done for about $550 including springs, let me know. the springs were $450 inc tax and $100 for install (friend who is a service tech is doing it for me)

to silentrage,

I am really interested in lowering my car. That price sounds pretty good for me, since i was told that it cost at least 800 bucks for the springs and the installation. So, i am now wondering that can ur friend give me the same price for the lowering?? since i am really interested in it. THXS alot...

MB coupe.
Ting...

I've been tempted to order from Tirerack, but afraid of freight to Canada.

Can you say how they were shipped, and the shipping costs?

Was it a hassle for them to deal with a Canadian customer?

I think those wheels and tires look great!!!

Thanks, Smoky

I picked my wheels up in the US,
then paid customs

It probably would work out about the same if you shipped to Canada.

Definately cheaper wheels in US though, atleast no #(*$*#( tax.

I think there is a warehouse in the US (5 min from the boarder), where you can order things from the net and ship it to there. They charge you $3 or $5 for a shippment but I forgot what the place is call.

ting, i'll talk to my guy for you about the springs, but i'm sure you should be able to get them installed in van for about $150. how much are they charging for the H&R's in van?

silentrage,

i am not very sure about the price for the H&R's, but i did ask for springs for c coupe and they told me it's around 400, but the most expensive part is the labour cost. It costs like 800-900 in total including the springs, so it costs like 400 for labour, it's way too expensive then i have expected. So i really hope u can get me a better price. Coz i am really interested in lowering my car.

Thxs

actually i'm looking for a different style AMG wheels or just simply bigger wheels for my C32 but i have no idea which would go with the C32 bodykit. i already rule out Brabus, Carlsson, and Lorinser because i think it would be weird to have a C32 AMG with those three brand of wheels.

any ideas? i kinda like the superleggera from OZ what do you think?

oh yeah another question is are the AT italia wheel made by BBS?
get the monoblocks off a e55. i love those wheels
