I just got these today and don't plan to buy and dump them, rather enjoy them for a bit. But I was pleased when I saw they arrived with rings from 72-66.6mm, make thing these 5x112 wheels a bit more flexible, or maybe not since I think Audi runs ~57mm bore. So I am mostly looking to learn what these wheels will fit.
The lugs are come seat, and I assume wobble bolts would allow them to work on a 5x114 car, but I don't know. I am happy with them at the price I got them, and am considering the options of what to do with them. They are currently about the same light blue as my car and have beefier tires than my current ones. I'm definitely looking forward to enjoying them and maybe changing them in time. Of course if someone really wants this fairly rare wheel, then money talks.
Right now they sport worn 76.85 mm Mercedes badges, but I'm going to be seeking some 76-77mm momo badges (for a little more versatility than just MB cars). All four wheels have center nuts and waffles sort of like a female version of bbs rs (male) center caps. They are circa 1986, fit the large calipers of a Mercedes 560sl (not more than a half dozen known wheels do without spacers), and have the following model inscriptions:
Front Side:
TYP 089001 (where everything but the "1" is raised and the "1" is recessed)
KBA 41092
8x16H2 ET11
MOMO MADE IN ITALY
Back side:
MADE IN ITALY
037
86 (and the boxes that represent the month of manufacture)
A search on those numbers only lead me to one hit where a guy was looking to sell the wheels from his Mercedes r107 (same body style these came from) from 2004 where the guy was looking to sell for 150 Euros (much less than I paid). So while there are no 5x112 markings, I'm confident that these are 5x112 or at least close to that.
I don't know if this picture is going to post, but here goes.
