I cant find wheels that fit my friggen truck!

Luke! Help! Anyone! I desperatly need wheels, 22x9.5 to be exact, sure I can find a ton of wheels in that size, but the problem is i cant find the right bolt pattern. I have a 2002 ML320 and want 22x9.5" wheels with a 5x112 bolt pattern. Ive dealt with HRE and iFORGED, i just dont have the money nor patience to deal with custom wheels, the most I wanna spend per wheel is 600ish, I dont care much for the brand. Can anyone help?

I like this company called Gen-X who make 22x9.5" wheels with a 5x112 bolt pattern called the X-Teks and Exxens, but these wheels are discontinued and i cant get them anywhere, no one has them, can anyone help me???

depends on the weather
22" wheels for $600 ..... that's going to be a tough thing to find ..... good quality wheels can not be touched in that size for that money .... maybe you should lower your expectations abit


remember all wheel have three characteristics

low cost
good quality
right dimensions

pick 2 and only 2 for any individual wheel

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
im with luke 100%...you cant get good quality 22's for 600 a wheel. if you do find something it probably wont have the proper load rating, strong structural integrity, or high quality(i.e. peeling). maybe you should look for used wheels.

Get a 4x4 sedan.

Why choose a small SUV and then have 3" rubber to protect few grands worth of aluminum

This is just my opinion and to be technical i think its an SUV, and a small one at that. When i read the title, "cant find wheels to fit truck", the first thing to come to my head is someone is wanting to get rims for his truck. (non-mercedes vehicle with a bed) I could see a larger suv being called a truck and even possably a g-wagon.
But really, i could care less if he called it red rocket. Just thought it was interesting.

Who cares what I call it, whether it be a Benz or a truck, doesnt matter to me, people know what Im talking about.
