The ones I got that fit came from a 98-02 MB CLK.  Great looking
wheel and a lot less than the Rheine's.  Found them on ebay for like
$385.  They weren't perfect but I didn't need perfect, just straight
and no damage. Forgot what ET they were, but definitely acceptable. I
did drill out the holes with a 9/16" bit.  Got the nuts from Loogie
on Samba.  Added the studs to the front for easier wheel
changing.  There's maybe 3/8" clearance from the sidewall to the
upper ball joint area, but there's no rubbing/motion.  Using Vanco II
215/65/16.  The ii's ride really hard with a 107 load rating, so find
another tire combo.
