Wheel choices...

Post by ChrisG89 »

Hey,

I'm in desperate need for some wheels for my Westy as the wheel trims it came with are horrendous. I haven't really got the tools to be swapping out for longer studs and want to do this fairly cheaply as I already get enough grief for spending money on my other car and the Westy is joint owned with the boss!

So to make my decision easier, I've narrowed it dow to three sets of wheels:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stunning-Mer ... 2868938234" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-T ... 3118300736" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Obviously the Teledials will need a 5x130 to 5x112 adaptor, but what else? Or is the offset that high that they wont fit/drive like a bag of "pooh"?

The Mercedes wheels are from an E Class and have M14 bolt holes and a good offset, but do I 100% need longer studs?

I'm guessing the Carats will be a straight and easy fi?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

the only wheel that fits straight on is a wheel that was designed for a T3

I do like the carats
