Hi, apologies for not introducing myself correctly. I am a Merc owner, but wheels only!!! I have a VW T3 Transporter currently sporting a set of sparkly refurbed 15" Carat Duchatelet rims. Thinking of upgrading to 17" AMG Style II Monoblock, when I find he right set... So, still extolling...

Lidl doing cheap torque wrenches as well in some branches... ..but beware, they can drift with use

Avoid: near the recycling bins near the delivery lorry lane near the trolley sheds near the MPVs near the corsas near the 206ccs 17:00 - 19:00 doesn't leave too many spaces.....

renault12, yes they are lugs, so no problem with centreing.. neilrr, 18s are too harsh a ride and nigh on impossible to get commercially rated tyres to suit the rolling radius I need.. and a little out of my price range!

Is a spigot ring just a spacer then, to take up the difference in centre bore diameter...

cheers Blackman, worth a try renault12ts, scuse my ignorance, what does hubcentric mean? I've got Carat Duchatelet wheels (7x15 ET35) on at the moment and they fit fine, centre bore is at least 67.1mm and the lug hole fitted at M14..

Yes, you're right they're not, but I would say they're more likely up to the job then replicas. Just out of curiosity, what's the kerb weight of a big merc?

again, cheers for the info... ..It's definitely the 17" 'Monoblock/Style 2' that I'm after and have heard that some replicas depending on country of origin can have dubious build quality.

Thanks for the information Howard, they're going on a VW T3 transporter, so would need a 14mm stud hole to fit without machining. I'm currently running 7 x 15 Carat Duchatelets and the stud hole size and ball seat were fine. Centres need to be at least 67.1, PCD is right at 5 x 112, and the...

Morning.... I'm guessing that someone on here as access to part numbers and descriptions, I'm trying to ascertain the centre diameter and lug hole diameter for the wheels below: Front Wheels : Part No. HWA 202 400 03 02 Fitting- 7.5J x17 H2 ET35 Rear Wheels : Part No. HWA 202 401 01 02...
