They look like Mercedes Penta alloys too me. Sets have gone on ebay recently for £200, so £300 is way too much

Plus you will need spacers and longer bolts/studs

Look great to me! I think it's a good price, 4 new tyres thrown in. at least you know they fit.

Borbet wheels are very different to Pentas and may well fit straight on vs the Pentas which need longer studs/bolts to be fitted.

I've met him. Bought a gearbox off him early 2005. He's called Chaz and is a nice enough guy.

We don't need to ask - looks like you spent £558 on four wheels.

Lovely, if you like that sort of thing.

Post by **lhd** » 10 Jan 2006, 15:24

£618 inc p&p...

Hi,

In germany these rims were sold by projektzwo. Here some old brochures:

no spacers etc

Thankfully we don't need TUV certificates over here, which is how it's so easy to just fit what engine and rims we want to these buses.
