HELP.. 5x112 HRE Wheels 19x8/19x9...NEWBIE
Hey guys my name is Nick, I come from the other end of European cars.. Audi & Volkswagen, so please help me out here, I know NOTHING about Mercedes!
So I bought a set of 3-Piece HRE 546's from a fellow B5 A4 Owner somewhere in California a few weeks ago. The wheels are Staggered with different offsets & I don't believe I will be running them on my car because of fitment & mostly Rubbing Issues.
The wheels are like 3 years old & are in immaculate condition. The original owner to these wheels must have been soo **** on keeping these wheels clean and polished because they are so perfect. I am so disappointed because I originally figured I would try to make these work on my 2001 Audi S4 & just buy tires that had the circumfrence of the same from front to back. Unfortunatly, it didn't cut it, I went with a 235/35/19 for the front and a 245/35/19 in the rear. They are pretty close in my opinion, but I measured the total circumfrence of the tires mounted to the wheels, and they are about .5" off & that I think that is just enough to mess up the AWD/quattro system in my car.
Sizes & Offsets
Front 19x8 ET 30
Rear 19x9 ET 27
These wheels are immaculate & Retail over $1500 A PIECE! If only the offsets were 35+ & the wheels were 8 or 8.5 all around
1. Would anyone on here be interested in buying these from me?
Paypal & Cashiers Check only! Bill of Sale is optional as well...
2. & Could someone tell me what car or Mercedes class these wheels should fit & will work on?

it seems like the sizing fits best for the w203's.. maybe clk's too? what is the hub bore on those, we have a 66.56 hub size, i'm pretty sure that's it. Audi's are different right?
I think the best thing to do would be to call HRE, i'm sure they can help you out.
If you are trying to sell them, post them in the classifieds with all specs. Most people will know whether or not they will fit their car...
how much are you looking to get for them?

Im not sure how much I'd be willing to take for them. They were not cheap wheels to begin with & I didn't exactly get a good deal on them either. If your interested I would say to just make me an offer & ill let you know how far off you are. I don't want to sit on them for 5 months, but then again, I don't want to loose $1000 just because I thought they would fit.
& I am not sure what the hub bore is on these. but I could measure it myself.. HRE is taking there sweet *** time unfortunately. I have been waiting 2weeks+ to hear back from them. These wheels had to be made for a mercedes, If somone is local & has one of these cars, it would be nice to test fit them on their car to make sure.

Think about it though....
WHY would someone that owns an All Wheel Drive Audi buy a set of wheels for $6,000+ and not even get the wheels designed for proper fitment.
Im sure that HRE would have told them that getting 8" Wide for the front & 9" Wide for the rear Is not possible because it will mess up the cars AWD system.
When I originally called HRE with the specs of the wheels, they told me these were probably not made for an Audi, considering the different offsets & wheel widths. Besides the fact that 19s on a B5 A4/S4 (98-02) are huge & would have rubbing issues.

see... i told you! I talked to HRE yesterday & these were made for an CLK 430! HRE also told me they might not clear the CLK 55's rear brakes, but it is not for certain... But they will fit pretty much any Mercedes. : )
