vic, those look great! congrats man!

as for the badges, I think if you go to those shops that do the gold badges, they can do it for you--it's somewhat like a process where they apply it onto your existing badges...

the clear sidemarkers you can get from ebay, but I think if you went with either the euro impact strips or had the sidemarkers painted silver that would be better.

I did not. My shop used some that they had available on-site.

vic, the car looks great. Silver/black is sweet.

vic32amg · 02-16-2006, 07:47 PM

I did not use the lugs that frank recomended. The shop had them already. no issues what so ever.

carry on
Vic

do you have any idea what sizes they were? would be helpful to see how close ours are compared to the ones you have.

vic32amg · 02-16-2006, 11:21 PM

I have no Idea what size they are. However I got them from Wheel Warehouse. I'm sure if you call and ask for Cesear he can help. I told him that I was bringing in some TSW Bremmas and needed hardware. he said not to worry he has them and the rest was history. no grinding etc.. you can go to the wheelwarehouse.com and find thier number , give him a call.

ChristianJan · 02-17-2006, 05:05 AM

what tire shops usually carry Toyo's? i went to two different shops and they didnt have any. it seems that the toyos are the more popular tires for those who have already mounted them. i went to discount tires and they quoted me at 900+ for i think nittos, i forgot. and my dad has a friend thats like a ma and pop shop that quoted me for 800 for continentals (not my choice in brand, but one of the cheapest so far) any advice?

ernster · 02-17-2006, 07:46 AM

try falken 541 not to cheap but good ride and good in the rain. I got a set of four for 765.00. 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 in the rear.

razorfish228 · 02-17-2006, 09:41 AM

Ernster,

The guy only had to cut the rear Lug Bolts for you and didn't have to cut the front ones right?

I hope someone will post the real lengths of the rear and front bolts so we don't have to guess anymore. Please someone

ernster · 02-17-2006, 09:43 AM

No, I had to cut both. I had to cut the fronts by 2 threads and the rears I cut in half.

My suggestion would to do what that guy did and call that place and ask for the bremma hardware. It sounds like that was easy. So it costs you another thirty bucks.

It is worth it to get the wheels on your car.....

For the record, my 235/35/19 fronts were $214 a piece, the rear 265/30/19s were $209 on special through Tire Rack (Goodyear F1 GSD3). Luke was great to work with, and the tires have been very good in the dry and phenomenal in the wet. I'm pleased with my decision.

kickR · 02-17-2006, 12:10 PM

i just called and asked him and he told me that he couldnt provide me with any numbers because the lugs are not labeled in any way

now if i recall it right, neither the front nor the back ones fit perfectly for a c230? i thought the back ones shouldnt make any problems and now with the spacers the front should be okay too

well i definetly learned from this. i will never ever get just wheels again where a proper tested hardware isnt included - way to much of a hassle IMO

vic32amg · 02-17-2006, 12:32 PM

I found out that many wheels come without mounting hardware. as for tires I paid $190.00 ea for the front and $210.00 for the back. I went with Toyo T1R - I think this is what i paid, I'll double check,

carry on
Vic
