Harry man: Mercedes (ET37) and take a 205 or 215 210 400 0202 They (Merc rims) are thought to be 'soft' when striking hard edges, such as high kerbs and rocks, but within reason can be knocked back into shape.

So INSPECT regularly, both inside as well as outside, clean before inspection and look for cracking and trueness of running'

Mercs are not adequately load-rated for heavy T25s, such as heavily loaded vans and campers.

15x6" ET30 5x112mm, inner hole 66.5mm, rated at 900kg per rim.

Very similar apperance to the Merc design but heavier built and suitably load-rated. Correct ET, about £50 each?

They use 12mm radiused ball nuts, so if 14mm radiused used, they won't go on as far, but are supposedly 'OK'

16" Alternative Wheels

Andy Syncro-Nutz: I fitted Vw 16" Rims powder coated in Anthracite grey! A less expensive approach.

I was lucky that my 16" rims had the correct offset, as I already had fitted 20mm spacers and longer studs!

SyncroDoug:

I've gone done the same route as Andy Syncro-nutz except that I use VW T5 16in rims (very cheap - £30-50 for four practically new, see eBay) with a PCD adapter of 23mm thickness giving an ET of 28
