Yep 5x112 and by the time you factor in the cost of the adaptors it can and will be cheaper to get wheels that fit.

Yea wondered if I'd need assorted, I don't really need alloys just really fancied the Merc monoblock amg wheels painted gloss black on my car. How much are assorted usually then?

Can buy cheap adapters like fk for about £70 a pair, but you then need to buy the wheel bolts and spigot rings or you can buy the whole lot from h&r for £260. I bought some amg wheels didn't think adapters would cost much but how wrong I was :D

nope swapped them with a lad off a local forum as my engine and turbo popped and couldnt afford the adapters. luckily the ones i swapped with have a better polished lip, suit the car better and are 0.5'' wider  :grin:
