It came off a Lexus, so I'm assuming that those rims won't even fit on a Benz. The Lexus' usually have a bolt pattern of 5 X 114.3. Most new Benz's are 5 X 112. Hope you find new replacement rims soon dude, good luck.

I thought Dronell was made in Indonesia? Or was it just owned by Indo and made in Japan? In any case, let me know.

used dronell's for 2,800. you can probably get a better deal then that. my cousin got his Lowenhart LD1 19x8.5, 9.5 w/ 235,40-265,35 Pirelli pzero brand spankin new for 3000. of course this was a hook-up. he can get most rims (brand new) at 60% of the retail cost.. dont ask me how... he's checking on the BR5 19's for me...if they dont have that...ill go for the brabus mono V.

It will fit, but only after you re-drill the rims...

How safe is the 'drill-and-fill' process to make a rim fit?

Anyone here recommend, don't recommend, or otherwise?
