I was wondering if anyone is running 14" wheels on all 4? I realize this seems like a step backward, and would offer some definite limiting of tire choices in the near future, but are there any other foreseeable problems associated other than speedo issues?
Any reason why stock brakes wouldn't work? -Craig |

I wonder what the Mercedes Fuchs (Bunts, as they're affectionately called) would look like?
These are 14". The come in 15" as well, 5" width to 7", I believe. Five bolt pattern and very plentiful. You almost can't give them away and they're legit Fuchs. Attached image(s)

I think the center section needs to be cut down some, then they would look better. |

They are now making replicas in 15x7 which are fairly reasonable cost wise. |
