Good News/Bad News- Pro baseball player gave me ANOTHER set of rims...

[black99]

I dont know if anyone here remembers, but I befriended Rich Garces, a former pro baseball player for the Redsox. The first day I met him, he gave me the rims off of his CLK55 to but on my C230. Well, He has been in Venezuala for over 2 years now, and i maintain his 2004 SL 500 and his 2002 BMW 745 for him. His 745 is due in off of lease, and he told me to turn it in. The kicker is it has 20" staggered Lowenhart LD-5's on it. I dont want to give the stealership the rims. Rich told me if I can find replacements, I can have the Lowenharts. My quandry is-

1) The BMW rims wont match up to my C230 (dammitt)
2) I cant find any cheapo factory rims and tires to throw on the BMW so that I can sell the Lowenharts.

Anyone got any suggestions. We dont want these wheels to go to the dealership do we?

Here in Germany, H&R fabricates so much adapter plates, you can install nearly every rim on every car. BMW bolt circle to 5x112 is no problem. It's in a spacer the, sure, but that would be no problem.

Keep the Löwenharts and go for the extreme way! Dubs on a w202 is very outstanding!

Oh wait...don't think they will fit. I bet they're wide as hell...

:D

yeah, they are wide. 9.5" in the front and 10.5" in the back. The lip on these things is awesome. I might just get the adpators and put them on my mustang.

Lol what a dillemma to have.....

[coolin]

Whuddya mean you can't find cheapo 7-series wheels?

Put the Loewenharts in the autotrader and offer them as a trade + cash.

...or put a set of steelies on with OEM B-muh hubcaps.

Got a link for the steelies?
