Rims for Audi, Mercedes Benz and VW for sale
Well, now i know why these rims didn't fit the SVX. The offset was too low (given the larger tire diameter) AND the bolt pattern is 5X112! Somehow they still mounted!!! I know some of you own Audis and Benzs so here are the details:
4 beautiful AT Italia S5 wheels for sale in very good condition. They are 16" rims which are 7" wide. (16X7). The wheel offset is 35mm. I am pretty sure the bolt pattern is 5X112. Attached is a picture of one of the rims and it is representative of their condition. The tires are NOT included. Basically, I bought these rims without realizing that the offset was too low for my car. I need to mount those tires on the proper rims I am having refinished. I am sad as these rims, made in Italy, look great on the SVX, which was an Italian design as well. Make an offer. I believe these rims fit the cars listed below but it is up to the buyer to make sure these rims fit your car: 2002-2005 VW Passat Mercedes Benz CLK320 Mercedes Benz C230 Mercedes Benz C280 Mercedes Benz SLK230 2006 Mercedes Benz SLK280 1997-1999 Audi A8 Audi A3 Audi A4 The following cars have a slightly higher offset but these rims should be fine and especially if you mount winter or snow tires that are narrower than the stock tires: Volkswagen EOS 1998-2001 VW Passat 2005-2008 VW Passat 1998-2004 Audi A6 1995-1997 Audi S6 1995-2006 Audi A4

Re: Rims for Audi, Mercedes Benz and VW for sale
Those wheels were actually sold by Audi America as a winter wheel option. They're very popular with Audis here.
They can be used on 5x114 setups with wobble bolts, and the reverse is also true. http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Wobble_Bolts/ES2130074/

Re: Rims for Audi, Mercedes Benz and VW for sale
It's also important to note that these will not fit any vw/audi cars with brembo or hp2 brakes.
That being said, my S8 has brembos, and my A6 has HP2s, so they're out of the question for me. Great wheels, though! They hold up really well.

Re: Rims for Audi, Mercedes Benz and VW for sale
Thanks for the information on wobble bolts. I read online that the centerbore on the rims were 57.1mm. Do you have any idea if that is correct? Keep me in mind if any of your customers want winter rims.

Re: Rims for Audi, Mercedes Benz and VW for sale
Nah, I think they would work just fine unless they are rusted out. My mechanic just bolted these rims on my SVX with the standard lug nuts and the natural forces got them pretty well centered on the hub. I could MAYBE notice a TINY little vibration from one rear wheel.
