Lorinser LM5 Rims on our cars??

[Red Dragon]

I found this guy selling his car on ebay with some of the best rims I have ever seen on an MKIII (to each his own) and so I asked him what they were and he said Lorinser LM5's, which are OEM Mercedes rims that are fugging expensive.

I checked them out and they are 5x112 (i think, whatever they are they aren't 5x114.3) so my question...

Where did this guy get a set of 5x114.3 rims, or where do you get 5x112 hubs that will fit our cars??

Here are some pics of his car.

I had a set of bbs wheels that were off a bmw.. Only had them on for a short period of time but they were 17 inch and they fit!

i have seen a guy take a set of mustang gt wheels straight off a supra and onto a bmw so i figured they had the same pattern.

If I am not mistaken, this car was sale before, so I emailed the previous owner. After much debate, he admitted that they MIGHT be replicas. Lorinser does not make a 5x114.3 pattern. I am pretty sure that they are replicas as i have a few places that sell the same style wheels in Supra bolt pattern and offset. I personally think that they look real good on our cars,

bmw wheels are 130mm and supras are 114mm. They do not fit. What you guys saw were probably universal lug wheels with both bolt patterns. If they fit, I would be rolling on my brothers 19" bimmer wheels.

You can get custom wheel adapters made. About 150 per set and they are hub centric.

you are right it was for sale like a month ago, and I saved the pics from the auctiona and just now got around to posting. So you know a place that sells replicas of these wheels in teh 5x114.3 pattern? Do tell, I really want these for my car.

Thank you Tubbie:biglaugh: . I explained this in a thread less than a week ago, and now it popping up again :3d_frown:. All German cars have odd bolt patterns lile 120mm, 130mm, and 112mm
