I do like quirky, left field stuff but no idea what is out there that would fit as a decent replacement. Thanks. Wheelfitment.eu is a handy site for finding cars with the same fitting. Apparently 5x112 is common across lots of Audis, BMWs and Mercedes. Probably best to go for something close to the 37mm offset though, I'm not sure how far off 37mm you could get away with. www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Mercedes/E-Klasse%20W210%20(1995%20-%202002).html

So while the whole world puts merc rims on other makes You want to swim against the tide and put other makes rims on a merc (since that is what this thread is all about, so suggesting the thousands of merc wheels is not the target here ). You can chose from such a lot of makes that meanwhile use the 5x112 pattern and 15" upwards: every modern VW brand (Audi, Bentley/RR, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Seat, Skoda, VW), but surely a lot of others too. How about this VW Beetle rim looking like a hub cap steelie (removing the vw badge would be my suggestion)?

	There are a lot of Skoda wheels that would look great on that nowadays.

	P38 Mondials? Would require adaptors, they're 5x165 or something mad like that.

Adapters require M14 studs and some unique flat bottom wheel nuts rather than the chamfer type we are used to seeing. I used to run a set many years ago. Popular choice among van owners I understand as the alloys in some cases are suitably load rates.

	No, it's L322s that are 5x120. Same as T5s, which is why you see loads of 'surf bus day van l@@k' T5s on L322 and X5 wheels.

	I'm picking up an old Mazda e2200 I've been after for years this week for work. i think it's 6x139.7 pcd and I've seen lots of funky 4x4 wheels in that size. Hopefully I'll find something unusual for that.

	Blimey! Probably the 2nd worst car I've driven, surely a Matiz V6 is a bad idea!? ...and yet, I still would!
