Post by: mellow yellow on 07 June 2010, 15:33

I've used the search to the maximum but cant find any pics of mercedes avantgarde wheels on a mk3.

Can anybody help? has it been done before? any pics? what will be needed to make them fit?

many many thanks  :smiley:

Adaptors will be needed, Merc is 5x112 your mk3 will be 4 or 5x100, you need to be carefull with the offset as well.
