Arrgghh - can someone help me find wheels that will fit?
Here is the puzzle - 2006 Mercedes S65 rear wheels for Drag Radials.
I have been trying to find two 18 inch rear wheels that will fit the s65 for mounting drag radials that look stock. The problem - the 60mm offset. I call replica companies, they say "oh yeah, these will definitely fit", and they send me rims with 35mm offsets, and they stick out about an inch past the fender. Has anyone found a rim that can be ordered in a 60et with the 18x9.5 size? Godfather found me some Forgestar F14s, but they can't handle the weight of the car, according to Forgestar. They also don't look like replicas, but I might have to give up on that one. Alternatively, I'd love to find a 19 inch drag radial that will fit, but they don't seem to exist. Thanks in advance for any help on this one! Z
