Can someone give me some advice? I've found the wheels below...

http://www.makwheels.it/EMP0000000033.asp

They're 5 x 130, 9 inches wide, and 20 inches diameter. Offset I believe to be between 40 - 60 (not sure, but this should be ok anyways, shouldn't it?).

What gives? Why don't they say that they're compatible for the 463 G?

Many thanks,
Hova.

40-60 should be ok, i think
it's probably the center bore then.

what i've read is that you could use porsche or touareg or Q7 wheels, but you'll need to make the center bore slightly bigger.
not a biggie, every decent wheel shop would be able to do it for you

Looks sweet, Mick!! Nice shoes.

As for the wheels in the link, I'm planning on having them painted matt charcoal grey... think it would look good in a color other than silver!

I though I was the only one that got new wheels painted!! good lad!
I'm presuming that your going to leave the rim as it is?
was the G in that most recent britney spears video not wearing very similar wheels?

Re: Wheels wheels wheels... why wouldnt these work?

I totally agree. Sometimes... painting them is the only way to get the look you're after!!

As for Britney's wheels... they are indeed very similar. I've just had a look at the video and I think they're anteras... but very very similar, yes.

Ashamedly, I think I want the wheels even MORE now! Britney, Britney, Britney. Bahahahaha... you're killin me, Mick!! 8)

I'll let you know how they turn out. Will post pics when once they're on!

I thought they were anteras alright, but wasn't sure.
I remember coming across an u.s site the done air bag kits while I was looking for one for that ml that had a section on the site that allowed you to try different wheels on different suv's you could change the colours and lift or lower the car at a touch of the button, they of course had a G and an M-class along with the usual American guff.
will have a nose around to see if I can find it again.

Please dont start that old crack about putting that crap on Eddies G55
Its just perfect the way it is

and keep up the good word Mick
