get some audi/passat 15"-16" alloys from the junkyard. cheap..  my local
machine shop charges me $10 per wheel to machine centers to 2.5" ID.   spacers are
$10 ea just need two for 2wd fronts.  syncros need none.   longer bolts -use
some audi lug bolts form the junkyard.


cant see how this is anywhere near the price of what go-westy is getting for
their 16" knockoff benz wheels...??
