Which G's did the 16x7.5" open tear Ashtaroth's come on?

Any reason not to use them over Atik's?

It is a funny photo, but I don't understand the premise of the statement. I bleed all four corners without needing to take any wheels off in the 300GD.

Sincerely,

Packman

btw, i have 4 sets of different design oe G alloys , these are next on the list ;) [ but not for 600 euros each ! ]


Hi Hus,

16" Hutchies are ~35 pounds for the 1207 style I have, or 42'ish pounds for the original military style(I forget the model # of this wheel--it's the flat faced one). Not less unsprung weight vs factory, but more, ha! But they look cool, and that's all that matters right? :P

I agree I'd prefer them lighter, but per Hutchinson they don't make the forged units anymore, save for very very very rare gov't contracts.
I certainly hope the G is overbuilt enough to be able to handle an extra 10lbs of unsprung weight per corner.

I was yes. Any questions on them? You may need to have them modified to be hubcentric to your G's hub.
A vehicle’s worth is not what you put into it, but what it put into you.

do you know what weight difference is compared to Hutchinson 2 piece wheels?


no , never checked or asked for the weight , normally the weight is shown on the MB price list if you have .
a friend has a new set for sale , maybe he can check the weight or give me the part number , he told me that they are that much expensive .

mfg. guido .
