So this is my plan.... these wheels are from the cobalt ss and are 18x7.5 5x110 bolt pattern with a 42mm offset and a 65.1 centerbore. I know a machine shop that can drill metal inserts to change it to 5x112 and drill the centerbore to 66.59. I also have 5mm H&R spacers for the rear wheels. I was thinking of powdercoating a set of wheels that are not made anymore by ronal but i'll post pics to those tomorrow..

Well, I have a lot of wheels but i always come back to my black wheels on my sig. I was thinking of powder coating these black. Btw, these are discontinued ronal wheels that i haven't seen anywhere else. These don't have the spokes straight like most wheels they curb at an angle.

W124's
How much did you get them for? That size is perfect for the W124 - Well I would run that size at least.

I have those in storage but i don't think i will dare to machine the 5x114.3 bolt pattern to 5x112. I had some 5zigen heidfelds 3pc wheels but i sold those on ebay.
BTW, the first pic i like but on a 4 door i don't know??....
