Great idea...thanks for your insight guys keeping my fingers crossed

Your photos are no longer being displayed

A 10mm spacer on a 54 offset with a 275 tire on the 63 wil chip off the outer rubber of the tire on the arch over bumpy roads and potholes

oops, I moved them to a different folder in my photobucket lol...I did a visual measurement and it looks like the 10mm spacers would fit ok, but like u said may rub on bumps and stuff...I am going to try out Mort's suggestion and swap the spacers from the front to the back for a day and see if I can somehow make it work...if not, I will just switch em back to the front.

I'm not the biggest fan of black wheels but I do think they look nice on a white car and they're definitely a big improvement! Congrats buddy

Edit: Edit your signature

thanks, Sam. going for the white/black theme on my car (which is why I was adamant to get a polar white coupe and had to contact multiple dealerships to find one that was already being built and allocated to them as I am very impulsive and did not want to wait 6 months+ to custom build one...I am working on this character defect lol).

good point on the signature, editing it now

Not a big fan of black wheels either, but the multispokes with polished edge look sexy on ur car Derek.

As I said, they would look much better & bigger with the right drop.

5MM on an ET54 on the rear would probably be perfect....giving you an ET49

I'm just thinking in relation to my 19x10s with ET50 in the rear, which are perfect, for me, in terms of stance and no rubbing

10MM spacers in the rear will probably rub with compression, but no hurt in trying since you already got them

Hello Robert,

I've received the paypal however did not get a confirmation of shipping address and I am a little concerned you've not replied to my email asking for your shipping address and also providing the additional information on the tires. I do hope you're OK and have had no emergency to deal with.

Please do let me know otherwise I am going to issue a full refund on paypal. I don't like holding on to people's money. Sorry bud. I will make sure you lose no money as a result of the paypal payment.

Thanks,
Sam

thanks, Meng, I have never owned a set of black rims and actually am very satisfied with the look.

Appreciate the insight Callmiro, good to know the 5mm should be good to go if the 10mm's don't work out in the back.

5mm spacers are not a good idea because they don't have a hubcentric ring - they are just flat discs.
The wheel is then mounted only on half of the hub.
That is why I only use spacers at least 10mm thick.
I hope I explained it clearly - I'm not sure if I used the correct wording.

callmiro

You can find 5MM hub centric spacers pretty much anywhere as most local machine shops can cut a pair for you.

If you can't find them locally then these guys are your best bet

cool, surprised H&R does make 5mm hubcentric spacers...is there a reason for this? should be decent weather here the next few days (nice weather = no snow/rain lol), so I am going to test out the 10mm's in the back this week sometime...going to try to hit up some train tracks or speed bumps

IMHO, you need to play around with lighting conditions when taking a photo for your sig. The light should be just right so that you can see each spoke clearly. This is the only reason I don't like black rims so much, they look nice up close but from afar, you can't really see the design too clearly.

m3equals333

I hear u Sam. Calipers being painted red today, so that will make em stand out just a touch more.


Thanks again for the great/honest deal bro...people should have 100% confidence when dealing with you and I hope your last couple (flawless) completed deals with myself and the other member are proof how much of a stand up guy and top notch guy u are

C-63AMG

Thank you for the kind words m3equals333 (Derek), I know 25 days is a long time to wait for some wheels shipped via sea from the other side of the world but they arrived there in good condition in the end and I must say you were one patient person to wait that long!

Red callipers to me are a little too common these days but again on a white car with black rims, I think they're really going to pop!

Hope you enjoy them and the tires don't get thrashed to pieces too soon!

Can you ship to western Canada( Alberta) T8N4P6 and same price? I am interested in the 19's and Continentals. Thanks

C-63AMG

Hello Karkrzy,

Let me just check with the shipping company tomorrow (closed now) with regards to Alberta and see if the price comes out to around the same price.

Will let you know then.

Thanks

hey guys, little off topic but do you recommend painting caliper? I sold a kid a new C63C and he really wants red calipers. I was looking into G2 paint but people are telling me not to touch this car and that since the paint is already gloss the new paint won't stick. Suggestions??

Thank you.

C-63AMG

Painting callipers is no issue and many people do, and have done, it. There's actually a thread on here at the moment on the first page about painting callipers so have a read of that

Thank you
