I don't think it matters if it's a 300 or 400/430. Try ichiba, I've heard they make good spacers.

The GS300/400/430 all have the exact same stud (12x1.5) and center bore size (60.1).

Ichibas are okay I had the V1s, but I prefer Adaptec. Made to order in the USA & the quality is superb. I have no affiliation with them, just love their product. My friend uses them on his Porsche 997 also which is how I heard about them. Figured if it's good enough for a 997, good enough for my old GS

H&R or Ichiba is what I would go with.

I've ran H&R DRA series (ones that bolt on to hub and come with their own hardware) with good results on my e class and am currently running adapters from adaptec so I can bolt the Benz wheels onto the GS...nothing but good things to say about their product quality and durability. Personally, id stay away from spacers that just "shish kabob" on...thats just me but I like the peace of mind knowing the spacer is bolted to car and the wheel is bolted to it/car. Whatever you end up with make sure they are Hub AND wheel centric
