Default New Wheel MB Motoring Old School

Voxx has created a new wheel for us called the Old School. This 5 spoke wheel is available in Gunmetal and Chrome. The Old School is designed for low offset applications and is available in the 5-120.65 (5-4.75) PCD. Let me know what you guys think.

I agree, they do have the same feel.

Yeah, I wish this wheel was offered in more applications. Maybe in the future it will be.

Those look nice, and are more what i've been looking for than ttm or ttII's. 17x9.5 isn't though, i need a 17x11 or 18x10 for the back.

Not bad looking and the pricing isn't bad either. I would also like to see a wider option for the rear but 9.5 would be doable for me.

Not sure but I will work on finding out. Thank you for your patience.

These wheels are low offset only. These should fit well on most 1992 and older vehicles. Offsets are too low for 1993+

MB Old School Offsets are listed following the bolt pattern. example: 17x8 5-114.3 7GLM ("7" is the offset.

I wish it was that simple. New molds would have to be created which is not easy or cheap. There would have to be a high demand for something like this to occur.

I see you carry a lot of 5-120mm wheels on your site with 40mm 45mm offset
and they say they don't fit the later model F bodies??? you don't have hub rings?
same wheels on other sites are sold this way

All the wheels we sell come with hub centric rings for free (when applicable). The reason why the 5-120 wheels do not pull up for the later F body is because the bolt pattern is 5-120.65 (5-4.75).

darn I wished you got back to me sooner I just picked a set of TSW/nitto555 and wheelnext matched your price, and YOUR price was better it just didn't say it came with the rings. I had one of your guys on the phone and he told me they wouldn't sell me the 5 x 120mm if I picked my car in the chooser. I found out today you can choose the wheels and the offset that you know works without telling them what car you need them for.

I do apologize for the delay, we operate on over 100 different web forums and we are in our busy months (TAX returns ). Post up some pics once you get your new assembly mounted. Which TSW wheel did you end up going with?
