Just to be a nuisance. I was after the PCD.

I took the tyres off my wheels today (well actually I paid someone with a machine to do it). Seems I have three ceres wheels and one MSW wheel. They look almost identical, and say 15J7 ET23 in the castings. The MSW one has a sticker inside the tyre airspace, which says 1987 Ford Granada.

If you measure between two adjacent studs, ( on the outside of each stud to save guessing where the centre is) then subtract the diameter of one stud to give disatnce between centres then multiply this number x 1.7013 to give you the PCD.

Phil,
Don't Blasfeme here - you philistine you.
A mate of mine has a Griff 500 which whilst tidy is.... well!.... ordinary! and whenever he see's my SEAC he asks if I'd swap {one of 32 (420) or one of a multitude of Griff's} - I think not. Phil get those boots on your 350 - treat yourself - you know it makes sense .

Ahh, ok,
Got bored so I thought I'd get my calipers out. Took off wheel, measured studs, as per picture :

www.performancealloys.com/technical.asp

Measuring to 0.05 of a mm :
I got X in the range 77.60 to 77.70 and stud diameter 11.85 to 11.90 Which gives a PCD in the range 111.8 to 112.0

Then if you toodle off to this site :

www.tyresave.co.uk/fitment.html

The only fitment with PCD 112, and ET 23 is a mercedes SL.

My wheels (OZ, but a model I have never seen on any other wedge) have Merc stickers inside them.
