Subject:15" steel wheels
From:G. Jetson

Hi List,
I too am looking for 15" steel wheels. I am running
15x7 Benz rims that are impossible to find in the US.
I just got lucky & found a set of 4 one day at the
Benz junkyard.

I have been going without a spare for over a year now
& really want to track down another wheel. It's time
to rotate one tire out,(yes, I did get 5 tires). I
would be happy with any 15" that fits without
modification or spacers.

I did find an Audi turbo alloy, but have been told it
would need a spacer, but wouldn't need milling if used
on the front,(it's a Syncro). Can anyone verify this
or tell me otherwise?

If anyone lives near a Mercedes, or very German
junkyard, Email me for a description of my wheels.
Maybe you can find a set for yourself or another list
member & even find an extra for me to buy as my spare.

They are the perfect solution for the 15" upgrade.
They look like stock Vanagon steel rims & need no
modification. Look great painted black or silver.

Thanks,
David K
Seattle,
1990 Syncro
