The cast aluminum wheels weigh on average 10-15lbs I think, might want to verify (at least the bundts). Go on UPS website and calculate time and cost, or any carrier.
Put in at a 15x15x7 package at 15lbs, and x that by 4. Or you could pack two to a box, 15x15x15 at 30lbs x2.
This would at least give you a ballpark. 100 dollar rims could easily become 250 dollar rims shipped

Any body know how well these look on a w123, and what a good price would be to pay for them? I know he mentioned the offset is different so they would need spacers or something, but that doesn't seem like too big of a deal

Do I need to completely make up the difference with the spacers, or can they be slightly smaller, because 18mm is pretty big.
Also, where can I get spacers and longer lug bolts for cheap??
I really wanna get these wheels on soon so thanks for the help
From what I've seen as far as pricing for wheel spacers, this seems like an alright deal, what do you guys think?

Would -3mm front and +2mm rear have any negative effects? Plus these come with longer wheel bolts

03-22-2012, 04:04 PM #12Okay so I ended up buying some wheels yesterday, they're off of a w124 300E, the part number on them says 124 401 07 02, the wheel size is 6.5 x 15, ET48, vs the stock 6 x 14, ET 30. So I guess I need some spacers and some long ass lug bolts

03-22-2012, 05:01 PM #13It's always a wheel by wheel basis as to whether or not they fit. My 17's are 7.5 inches wide and have an ET of 37 in the front, and they just barely fit. Things like height and width come into play big time as well.

03-23-2012, 12:57 AM #14I'm starting to kick myself for buying them. I can't decide if I should get the spacers, and also if the longer wheel bolts would be long enough since they would need to be double extra wide, of if I should just try to sell them online. They are in good condition so I'm sure I could get more than I paid for them, and then have extra monies to get some that will actually fit

I read posts that said the rims I have "will not fit". Well guess what, they do.
I had the same problem with needing longer lug bolts, just measure the stock ones (in metric) and add 5-10 mm to get your length you need. Make sure you get the right seat, either ball or cone. You can find a shit ton of them on ebay.

This sounds encouraging, I still think I'm going to need some spacers but not as thick as I thought. I'll start out with the longer wheel bolts first

I read posts that said the rims I have "will not fit". Well guess what, they do.
I had the same problem with needing longer lug bolts, just measure the stock ones (in metric) and add 5-10 mm to get your length you need. Make sure you get the right seat, either ball or cone. You can find a shit ton of them on ebay.
This sounds encouraging, I still think I'm going to need some spacers but not as thick as I thought. I'll start out with the longer wheel bolts first
