what's the wheels sizes right now?

after i slammed my rear lil bit more, i realize that actually i'll need spacers or wider lips for my 10x17, so if your plan is to run lower than that, run as wide as possible

[HWY HNTR]

nah they're no where near finished. I merely just trial fitted the wheel onto the car to make sure there were no mounting problems. I'm matching front faces onto generic OZ barrels and there's not a lot of info out there of w124's doing this so I wanted to make sure it would work and get that out of the way. I still have more stuff to order. And I'm gonna get them into shape don't worry. I had to wait for the tools because I couldn't take them apart silly, how could I refinish them otherwise

[DannyE32]

why didnt you polish and make the wheels look brand new while the sockets were on the way?

now its gonna take longer!

btw. SWEET wheels

[HWY HNTR]

yes, they are quite fucking sick aren't they

sad I won't be able to work on them till after Thanksgiving weekend tho

[NeedingAnAudi]

Yes wtf. because they look fuckin sick

[HWY HNTR]

wtf?

[NeedingAnAudi]

wtf?? Must haz

[HWY HNTR]

Daniel- yeah i got confused lol, arent the ones you have more rare than the aero ii's?

some say it is so, some say it is so

so update time now, and it's a good one

k, so to start off slow I started working on this front bumper to replace my banged up one



it's in pretty good shape even has the tow hook cover which is usually always broken or missing

so I started sanding, almost there


more progress


what it looks like now, should be painted either this week or the next


then shift gears into the day I came back from class to find this lil' package


aww f yeah



so I got started to working on the wheels

brewski, it's whats for energy


what the sockets look like



all the bolts taken off



the wheel with no bolts



the bolt...en...gers...???



lips taken off



fully split



then I put the face and lip onto one of the new 8.5 barrels, as seen here



the rears fit good, I was afraid they might rub on the inside but no rubbing/no contact

pics of rear fitment







then pics of front fitment (don't mind the paint, this is an extra fender I had lying around, remember my diesel one got wrecked)





then a pic of what it's gonna look like



So, with the trial pictures of the fitment, what do you guys think of it? Should I get bigger lips? What tire sizes are you guys thinking? I'm thinking the fitment is perfect and might just get the normal 1.5 lips for the rears, either that or 2.0 lips.

the sockets are good also if anyone is wondering about the quality. The 10mm fits kinda tight but I'd rather it be tight than sloppy and strip the nut.

the fun doesn't have to be over tho, if you wanna see more update goodness you can see my latest update on my other car here

[NeedingAnAudi]

Sweet! I'll give you over 9000

Nice merc, Love the amg's, that you finally started working on

Keep up the good work!

Ya I kno, I've been slacking on them, but while the car was down I didn't see it as a priority, but I'm going full steam ahead on them now. And thanks for the compliment =]
