OK, so it would seem that I am full of *****. I can admit it. Next time I will leave the wheel questions to the experts.
For pennance, I will watch The Fast and The Furious. Wait, it's not like I killed somebody - OK I'll watch half of it - but I get to leave the sound off.
Maybe I'll just watch the trailer, I think that'll more than make up for my sin.

I asked for advice and yours was sound enough, even if it really was full of ****.
PS: you should watch tokyo drift FIY, albeit a tad immature it was entertaining.

Originals have complete details on the inner side of the wheel, part number, production code (?), country of origin, and offset. My Lorinser set was made by Ronal.

Will I have to go through hell and back to make rims like these fit? I haul alot of crap in the wagon (kids) so that may effect the purchase.
what do you think? my car has stock ride height but I'm think of lowering the front a tad to minus the truck driver look =/

They are Carlsson 1/15 rims and as a heads up, if the centres are missing you will probably never find 4 replacements. I have been looking for about 18
months now .........without success.

let me ask you,
what size + offset are your 1/15's.
are they 18's? If so, any fitment issues??
Advice would be tremendously appreciated.

They are 8x17 ET 30 with 225/45/17 tyres. I have H&R springs and Koni adjustables, about 35mm drop and there have been no fitment problems so far.
However they are a pig to keep clean, very heavy and get curb rash if you just look at them. Still love the design though.

lots of cars
won't fit unless you want to cut out your outer fenders and put a widebody kit. The difference is about 1" so pretty much no if you have a stock setup. They do fit older S and SL classes.
