This sounds like a very good deal if they work out---about 1/3 the price of
available SA 15 inch steel wheels. However, ideally the offset should be 30
for a 6 inch wide wheel (you have about 1/2 inch less track with et 35). Also
check with Discount Tire that the wheel has a center bore of 66.6mm (Mercedes
fitment) not 57.1mm (Audi and VW fitments) and that the lug holes are 14mm
NOT 12mm. The wheel should be strong enough to take around 1500 to 1900 lbs,
I believe--who knows the actual spec?
