What size spacers are you using? I called a salesman at Tire Rack and he said they did not have any spacers and to contact H&R. How much did they cost? Thanks.

He has SSR GT3's, which look awesome on the C32. Especially with coilovers! The wheels are supposed to come with spacers from SSR, which apparently his did not. Tirerack used that same spacer for his.

We are an authorized H&R dealer, and can get you any product you may need. What size spacer were you looking for?

**edit** H&R spacers are TUV approved, but not ADA approved, so please do not put them in your mouth!

SSR GT3 WHEELS

I thought that Tire Rack does not recommend putting spacers on cars. I know it's a business. Are spacers really that safe? I was looking at their web site and found only 7 types of wheels for the C32 for now. I really want the BBS CH but they don't have a fitment for the car. I asked them about it, if i get the wheels and put spacers, they said that it was not a good idea. what's the deal? maybe i just don't get it at all!

Call Peter @ www.wheelexpert.com and he can help you with this. I've see CH's for this application and it looks pretty good.

H&R spacers are safe and hubcentric. As long as you have a lug nut long enough, and torque your wheels (as you should anyways), H&R spacers would be as safe as not having spacers.

What's that?

Hello Genius1512, what's happening to your rear brake caliper? From the photo, it looks like it is rotten... oxidized? Was that effect done intentionally to match your nice looking rims. :O>

HAHA the rear brakes just looked bad from that bright flash, there not bad....but damn that shot makes them look like I havent washed my car since I bought it. But AMG must have been drunk when they put those pathetic rear brakes on after those fronts.

PAINT THOSE CALIPERS

With an open spaced rim like the SSR and the OEM C32 Double Spokes you must paint those calipers. Get the color of your choice from www.G2usa.com .
