...and a partridge in a pear tree

you are just thick coz i don't want any of your overpriced and tacky porsche alloys :aggressive: :ROFLMAO:

as far as i can see the amg alloys just bolt straight on (which is always handy with wheels) and they look great

as far as I know (which mightn't be as far as you ;) ) the AMG wheels intended for Mercs need their lug holes drilled out to 14mm (they're 12mm stock) and you might need longer studs/bolts on your T3 hubs.

Just a heads up in case you thought it was a true "bolt-on" fix :)

Thanks dude – I’ve looked into this and according to http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/VehicleSpecific/T3/info/mods/alloys/altwhls.htm - some Mercs were 12mm and some were 14mm – so yeah – ideally I’d prefer 14mm – keep it truly bolt on.

drilling them out from 12mm to 14mm is easy once the centre bore is right
