Does anybody (Luke in particular) know anything about these wheels, or have them on their car. I'm curious about whether the 17x7.5" rims come in different offsets?

Dear Rhinobenz,
Go to http://www.oz-racing.de , this is the German site for O.Z. racing, and click on the "programme" button on the bottom of the page. After that, simply click on "Mercedes" and this will drive up a list of every O.Z. wheel and every Mercedes that they fit along with all pertinent dimentions (wheel size, offset, bolt pattern, etc.). Even though it's in german, I find this to be the best technical resource for O.Z. racing wheels. I own an SLK230 with O.Z. Racing "Vela" modular (2 piece) wheels. I loved the design but found they were only available for Audi (same bolt pattern and offset, but a different centerbore). I did all of my techinical research on this site and after a little machine work...Viola! I have my dream wheels. I hope you have as much luck as I did and tirerack is a great source for O.Z. wheels.

There isn't a 17x7.5 listed there are 2 sizes listed with the proper bolt pattern 17x8 & 17x8.5 with a 35mm offset
Thanks, Luke
