Anyone have a good site/price for H&R spacers?
 

The crap spacers that I bought off of ebay, Ichiba, are....well crap! Before I sell these wheels I see that the H&R spacers look nice, but high in price. Anyone have a better/best price web site for them?

What was wrong with the Ichibas? Did they not fit over the front hubs? I had to turn my front hubs down a bit on my lathe. They did fit fine in the back. For the amount of time it took to do that I could have spent the money on H&R's. The one thing I did find out about H&R is that they are worthless for the right size lug bolts. I purchased them through ezaccessorys.com. Other than that the Ichibas are working fine.

I posed the same question on another forum I'm on, but it's down for a software upgrade, so I haven't heard anything. Based on my own research, the cheapest prices I found are here (because of the free shipping for orders over $100): http://www.jazzproparts.com/category_s/3288.htm

I found a link for a GP that fizzled out and I sent an e-mail about possibly starting it up again. I haven't heard anything back yet though. If anyone has a contact in Germany that would probably be the cheapest way to get these and save the most. My brother-in-law is in Belgium, so I'll try to get him to look into it for me.

I have 8mm universals if anyone wants them.

Just got a reply from the company and a GP is a no-go, but I requested pricing, so we'll see what they say...

I take it your wheels didnt fit right when you put them on ,James? remember the lugs..


Have you asked in the wheel section?

Haven't gotten to that just yet. I am still open to other wheel options and had already done a fair amount of research...although I hadn't hit the search button here yet. :D

I found this site/link in a search here and they are about the cheapest after shipping more than one pair: http://www.ecstuning.com/HR/appguides/app_search.cgi?make=Mercedes-Benz&qt=spacers&model=300CE%2C+300E%2C+300E+TD%2C+300SL%2C+300TE%2C+500E%2C+500SL%2C+560SL%2C+C220%2 C+C240%2C+C250%2C+C280%2C+C32+AMG%2C+C320+Sport+Wagon%2C+C36%2C+C43%2C+CLK+230%2C+CL&submit=Search%2 1

Joe, I'm home all day by the way. I'm taking the CD out for a spin with the GPS to verify the speedo before I start swapping wheels & tires. It's got 195 70 14's on it and the "spare" set I picked up last week has brand new 215 70 15's. Sadly my 300SD I'm selling has 205 70 14's, so there's no direct swapping going on. :(

I need to test mine with some GPS..

I am looking into different wheels for my sedan... some CLK funnel spokes are killer on the CD though.. which is what I want...

the w123 gasser boys over on benzword might have a line on spacers... Streekg is in europe IIRC he might have a line on some

Hey Don, when you come over, we'll go out for a spin w/the GPS. It's laptop based, so it helps to have a 2nd person to man it.

I just got this reply on the spacers from one source:

Dumb question, but are those prices for a pair, or just one?

That's for a pair, so you'd basically need two pair for all 4 wheels/tires.

New site with similar pricing, but it gets cheaper if you buy more than one pair: http://www.purems.com/ I had to search for the part number directly though.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think these are the part numbers corresponding to our cars: 1055665, 1255665, 2055665, 3055665, 4055665, 5055665, and 6055665. The first two digits are how much you're widening the track, ie 1055665 = 10mm wider, or two 5mm spacers.

That's what this small brain needed...simple:D. Thanks for the help.
I need a 12mm for the front and think that I need a 15mm for the rear. That should have all four about even width inside the fender wells.
