New Alloys for my CLK320

[Glynforster]

Just bought these alloys off Ebay hopefully will get them fitted on Tuesday on my next day off, does anyone know what model they would have been on originally???





I will also be selling the old alloys if anyones interested let me know.

Although they didn't know what car they came off it was a dealer and i sent my car details and they guaranteed they will fit.

What size are they and what offset ?

Are they staggered ?

Thanks Howard very helpful.

I know the rears need changing but work pays for my tyres so not a problem, i paid £215 for them so dont think that was a bad deal.

Haha ! Missed that !

My old w124 had Wanlis on it when I bought it , and had the same Wanlis on it when I sold it years later ! I just couldn't get them to wear out !

They were great for sliding out of junctions in the wet though

Glyn.

It's Sunday tomorrow so to put ya mind at rest, jack up ya motor and remove a wheel, flip it over and look at the rear of it, you should see a stamp in the metal with a designation ET followed by a number like 35.

Then have a look at the wheels you've just bought for the same.

If ET's match or are close you should be fine, if not then U might be in trouble.

 

[Howard]

The wheels he's shown and linked to the specs of will fit just fine.

Heres a pic half way through swapping the alloys, i think they look a lot better.

 

[trapperjohn]

[martyp87]
