Re: Wheel Options!

  No fitment for the Borbet thype "C"?! I don't think so! I know that 
Borbet makes these for the 5x112 bolt pattern. Try this: next time you 
call, ask for fitments on ANY 80's MB. This is how I found my MOMO 
"Mirage" wheels. Discount Tire told me that they had nothing for the Audi's 
in that wheel. So I happily hung up and called back, not 1 minute later 
and asked for MBenz fitments and low and behold they had it. They were 
16x7.5 with a +35mm offset. Just to put the cherry on top, they had been 
discontinued and they were scratch and dent. $99 a rim later, they were 
mine. $300 wheels for $99 was great and I couldn't find one thing wrong 
with them except for the paint had run on ONE of the wheels on the inside 
of it. That's it.

  To put an end to my ramblings: I have seen Borbet type "C"'s on 
MBenz's, so I know that the bolt pattern is available. Just make sure 
that you ask about the offset. This is (obviously) VERY important.
