Wheel Adapters for G55

The 5x130mm bolt pattern is a tough find as has been discussed here before.

I have been offered a set of Brabus Monoblock E wheels for a steal of a price, but they are for the sedans (5x112mm).

Is there a wheel adapter for this? I've seen a G55 with these wheels, I assume they are 5x130mm?

Thanks!

there are places that make custom adapters for most bolt patterns, however the problem will be the offset. The wheels will protrude out a bit more than you would like. Best bet would be to find a set of cayenne/touareg/q7 rims and have the bore increased.

Thanks! So, when Brabus puts these on their G55, does that mean they are using entirely separate rims (5x130), or are they using an adapter?

I really don't know why people use non-stock wheels, but that is my own private opinion.

There is a kid locally whose father has megabucks. He has 22" rims on his Cayenne S with 25 aspect tires, and he wonders why he regularly blows out tires and bends rims here in the Northeast! We have more potholes than black flies!

I tried aftermarket wheels once for winter tires and will not do it again. I stick with AMG or MB wheels designed for the vehicle. They look cool enough for me.
