Wheels missing parts?
Hi all,

Left the car (84 Merc 500SEC) in for a service yesterday. Ask mechanic to check why I was feeling at lot of vibrations when I go over 60 mph.

He told me that the wheels (Lorinzer alloys) do not actually fit the hubs and there should be plastic parts to make them fit but these are missing.

Does anyone know what these plastic parts he's referring to might be? Where might I get them?

Thanks in advance,

Les

Probably he is refering to a shim that goes in the middle of the wheel. Call Lorinser and ask them since plastic parts or shims usually sell separately for eventualities as such...
