I really don't understand why a wheel supplier would market wheels for our cars without actually fitting them on to said vehicle, and posting pictures of it. There are so many factors to consider including offset, clearance and rubbing issues, concavity, etc. A lightweight, strong wheel is definitely a bonus, but if the fitment of the wheel and tire combo isn't exactly known, it makes it hard to move forward with such a big purchase.

Even on the A platform, there are different offsets for the vehicles...i.e. the CLA offset is different than the GLA. If you're just trying to show wheel designs, I get it. But more often than not, when I call a dealer to see if they have the fitment I want, they don't. Then I see it as a bait and switch.
