    Specs should be fine.
    You are correct on the hub rings.
    The length of bolt varies between different merc wheels.
    But once they arrive it's easy to confirm.

    If it was just rash and they are cheap enough jump on them. If they are leaking your want to confirm if it's from a crack, buckle or leaking valve or puncture.
    Getting someone to 're roll and weld a crack can be a pain and not always effective if done incorrectly.

    I think they will look cool, nice oem upgrade. Thumbs up for thinking outside the box

    Thanks Dylan, might order some alum hub rings online - Doesn't seem like they have the size I'm after at Tempe Tyres (though that's only checking their site).

    I did find a better set, probably going to end up being a couple of hundred dollars more but there is definitely a lot less to worry about in terms of repairs etc.

    Can't wait to see them on, hopefully they look pretty sweet.
