no clue in the world. there's a private lot full of old merc's that some old guy has in town and one of the ones in the back has the 3 piece bbs's on it and i was thinkin about stopping in and asking what he'd take for em.

i think they're 15's. may be 16's.

It depends on what centers they are, as some are easier to redrill than others depending on the backpad and the bolt patern you want to go to vs. what they are now. I would shoot the guys at rotiform an email and get an estimate on the bolt pattern change before I made an offer on the wheels so I knew the total cost before getting invested too deep.

Just saw where your from, I'd put money on it those are the MBdoc's benzes. He's a great MB tech and a cool guy when you get to know him. Make sure those wheels aren't metric as well, as he's been known to import whole cars from europe in shipping containers labeled "car parts" back in the day before the ports tightened up. If they aren't his he'll likely know who's they are.

i play the cheap and local game

just figured it might be worth asking

[andyp]

lol nothing wrong with that.. take one to an engineering firm and ask them how much it would be to redo the centres to your fitment?

[lowpoke]

most people wont redrill unless the back of the wheel face is flat all the way around. as upposed to porsche wheels for example who have inter-locking style wheels where grooves are notched in between the lug holes. im pretty sure rotiform does re-drilling call them and ask them

if they are 5x112 and you want to convert to 5x114.3 you dont need to redrill you can just run wobble bolts its way cheaper

OP- can i re-drill 4x114.3 holes in em?

[Natedogg]

i **** to say it but i think one bolt hole will overlap....

wobble bolts?

or do they only go smaller not bigger

[Tuck&Poke]

Ah I'm retarded, I forgot Mercedes is 5x112, I'll make another drawing when I get back to the computer

Wobble bolts will "wobble" both ways, but they will not make a five lug wheel into a four lug. The OP will have to have them redrilled.
