I was wondering if anyone know of a shop that might be able to repair a crack on the inside of the wheels? I was told Wheels America won't be able to do it but I don't know about that.

I was wondering if these wheel spec will fit on the Z?
Front:
18" x 8", +45 offset
Rear:
18" x 9", +55 offset
Will I need spacers? and VDC shouldn't have any problems with it right?
Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I give him a call right now and see if he has an email so I can send the picture to him.
If I run spacers that big, would that make the car handle worse? I am looking into making this a track car and I am afraid spacers that big might hinder the car's handling.
Would I also have a fender problem running that big of an offset?

the problem of the offset is with your wheels, not the spacer.........
you will be fine...
also, its probably best you just swing by there....Dennis works alone, and is one of those guys with "no personality at times" if you know what i mean..
the whole, email him pics etc...probably wont work...

Yeah, I decided not to pick up those wheels. I mean they are OZ Racing Superleggera, so they are lightweight and good quality. Too bad the offset sucks or I would of picked them up for sure.

if you haven't had it fixed yet, or for anyone else, try calling Brian Sandidge at 214-325-6155. He is located on the top level of the Park Place Mercedes parking garage. He does all of Mercedes and Sewell Infiniti wheel repairs. He charged me about $75 / wheel and did a great job. Sewell wanted $150. apparently it costs them another $75 to call Brian and have him come pick up the car, which is all they do.
