Spent $360 on ebay and got a set of 4 forged aluminum alloys used off of a 98-02 Mercedes CLK and never looked back. They were 7x16's though. Drilled out the stud holes to 9/16" and added longer studs to the front discs. forget the offset, but it was within the boundaries of acceptable......ymmv DM&FS
