Hi all,

I hope you don't mind me asking (not a Mercedes owner) but I recently purchased some alloy wheels, which it turns out are a Mercedes fittment and therefore will not fit my car.

Is this site the place to advertise (they are Kahn RS-R 17" wheels) them?

I would appreciate any guidance as to a good place to find buyers as I currently have balding tyres and cannot replace them until these are gone! I just want to sell them cheaply, but quickly (as you can imagine :()

Many thanks


Chris

Chris,
I'm not interested myself, but you'd need to be more specific than saying they fit MBs.
I have read threads before where people bought wheels that were not a match for their paticular model. The recurring problem seems to be buying ones with the wrong offset. In some cases they can be used with spacers, but not always
PS: Offset whould be writen on inside of wheel

This topic has been gone over several times before, but no harm in reinstating it, as it may save someone £s by not buying the wrong wheels:

The offset (ET no.) is the distance between the face of the hub, and the centre of the rim.
