<font size=3>For in depth reading on wheel topics, including 15&quot;
wheels and wheels from GoWesty and other vendors, and tire choices for
large size wheels, and optimal wheel specs, see the following: <br>

</a>Don't be put off by the introduction. I think the GoWesty wheels are

GVW-8525 (Enter this p/n in the search box on the GoWesty.com site)<br>
<br>
They resemble the Mercedes OEM 8-hole alloys, but they say 15x7.<br>
<br>
Anyone know the offset and load specs for this wheel? Who is the<br>
manufacturer? Spacers required? Bolt-on?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
