Hi Bob,
Is there an ET30 stamp on your wheels?
The guy at GoWestys could be off base about the info below?
>Hi ,
I just wanted to let you know, that I just got off the phone with GoWesty.
They told me that their Mercedes knock-offs,
The 16” X 7.5 Alloys were:
2wd: 23mm
And Syncro:
40 mm
They said that they have only been selling the 40mm offsets for about a year.
And that before that, they were the 23’s,
They said that they Never did sell the Alloy’s in a 30mm,
( or a 38 )
As Bob Stevens had informed us on the List?
But then, He’s got a set so he may indeed have the correct info?
Anyway, I was asking you, about the 20mm,
And how it would look and fit on a 2wd.
If GoWesty's are 23mm, Then the 20mm shouldn't be too much different?
peaceout,

Subject: 16" Alloy Wheels;
Hi, folks @ GoWesty,
I’m a little confused on just what actually the Offset is
On your 16” X 7.5” Alloy, Mercedes Wheels.
I thought I’d been told two different offsets;
23 and 26.
Could you please verify what the stamped offset
Is on these wheels?
Thank you very much for your time!

Bob,
I have a serious favor to ask of you. Could you please email me the exact
ordering information for these wheels: The price, size, offset and all that
jazz. Everyone thinks the GoWesty wheels are ET38 or so.
And, most important, the size and model and ratings info on the Hakka tires.
My Vanagon is a '90 Westy Auto. I really like the idea of the 16"x7.5, but
want tires that work. I'm not crazy at all about the GoWesty tires
(Michelin HydroEdge).
Thanks!

My bad John. That link above my sig. takes you to pix of my wheels. The real
ET is 23. Notice the fitment pix too. I ordered these through Go Westy but
they come from Tire Rack: http://tinyurl.com/l34p7
Nice fit, me thinks
