Subject:      16x7" MB CLK Alloys W/ No Drilling from Tire Rack  $88/each!!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

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.
