The top set will be 5 x 120.6 if they're Jag. The bottom set will probably be 5x114.3 if they have been fitted on a Mustang.

Yeah lazy ebay listings! 5x112 seems like a bit of a pain PCD to me, it's all Merc, some Audi, some VW and a few odd ball Fords. I guess 5x114.3 rims would fit with wobbly bolts/nuts.

The 5-stud Ford ones should be OK with wobble bolts if it's 5x114.3, but I think the Jag rims are too much to take out with wobblies. You have to watch the centre bore with Mercs - them Slotmags look like they have a big enough bore, but you can come unstuck with stuff like OEM Audi wheels and the like as you need 66.6mm centrebore and a lot of VAG stuff is 57mm or something like that.
If I remember right, earlier MB's like W123's and W115's something like ET21 offset whereas later Mercs use ET35-40 or something.

Just stumbled across this tho!- This chap seems to have managed it with the Jag wheels, the centre bore looks ok but the bolts look a bit sketchy!!! What exactly are wobbly bolts!? It looks sweet with those rims on- mine is silver too so gives me a good idea of what it will look like with the jag wheels on and a slam. Here's a pic of mine- And a link to the gallery because the pics seem to be playing up! www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=126906

The oval sections around where the wheel bolts are would suggest to me that whichever company made the wheels did them in different P.C.D's. The bolts he's used aren't wobble bolts, though they look like they're far too small.

^ That looks to me to have 5x112 stamped on it, at the 1 O'clock position, just above the offset (ET 11) I have a set of very similar wheels stored at a mates place. I want to sell them but I can't get down to Cornwall to pick them up!

Buy the slots. Do whatever needs to be done to make them fit. Slam it to curse word. Win.

5x112, 8.5Jx16. It's been years since I've seen them so they'll probably need a bit of TLC after being stored in a shed / outhouse / wherever (I'm not really sure!). I'll have to catch up with my mate and ask about them.

Picked up these beauties yesterday- Genuine 80s BBS Mahles! Fronts are 16x7 and rears are 16x8. Structurally the rims are in great nick with no curb marks or dings, the rims on the two wider wheels need a good rub down and polish - just gonner do a DIY refurb for now and prob spray the centres black or gold (Swaying more towards gold at the mo). I'm absolutely stoked with them - just what I've been looking for. Got em for a bargain price too because they werent on ebay!!! Need some rubber for them too if anyone has owt? Will get some pics of em refurbed and fitted on the merc in my readers rides thread soon...

They're awesome. I'd spend a few quid and get them sand blasted should be able to get all 4 done for about £40.
