I bought a set of these not because they're the coolest wheel in the world, but the price was right and I eventually want the big brake kit up front at least. They are product of China, but I'm not doing any off roading and since the West Coast steel wheels are right at $100 each, These may be an attractive alternative. I ordered them for a MB CLK 98-02 thinking I was going to have to drill out the 12mm holes to 14mm, but the shop said they were already at that size. center bore is 72mm, so the big deal is stud length now. Offset is ET 35. 215/65/16' Vanco 2's going on them and may get a set for the snow tires too. When the tires come in, I'll report back with more details. The Vancos and Ron's tires are about the same price. DM&FS |
