    MB old school wheels
    « on: September 07, 2011 - 03:53:32 PM »
    Anyone using these wheels? Pics? Just ordered a set but now I don't know if the center hole is too small.

    I like that these have a sharp edge to them as opposed to the TT's rounded spoke.  I think Boyd's makes a wheel that looks like these.

    Hard to go wrong with a classic 5-spoke.

    Ok, now this thread is not worthless.

    The best part is I paid less than $1500 for the wheels and tires, mounted, balanced, road hazard and lug nuts.  Plus I happened to go in at the right time and got a $200 mail in rebate!  Love the wheels, now need to lower the car. 


    P.S.  Thanks to Goodysgotacuda (?).  His car was the basis for my search for wheels.
