Cool Class B Sprinter Rims

Does anybody know where I can find similar chrome rims that would fit on a Sprinter Class B RV with a GVWR of 11,030 Lb?

I mean looking good is one thing but the wheels must be heavy duty, possibly in steel and can handle the weight of the RV here.

Everyone points me to Alcoa but I contacted them today and they told me they don't have such wheels. They mostly have chrome hub caps.

I'm not even sure if those cool looking 5-spoke wheels exist for heavy Sprinter RVs.

    Rather than using Photoshop and not being totally forth with, you could have just gone to Google Images and input "mercedes benz Sprinter aluminum wheels" and come up with all kinds of examples including 5 and 6 spoke wheels.

    I'd check European online stores, especially in the UK. They usually have a lot of Sprinter items that are hard to impossible to find here in the US.

    Here's a simple explanation for you... :-D

    I might have flipped the picture when playing with it with my Photoshop. Sorry for the confusion.

    In case you wonder, I added those wheels myself on that picture, I have yet to see and know if a Sprinter Van can have such cool rims or if we are stuck to have boring hub caps.

    Might check Stockton Wheel Services in CA. They seem to have a lot of choices in stock and able to do custom work also.

    If that is the case, that suggests the UK, or Australia, or New Zealand, and there are others.

    So a search of UK or Australian websites might provide an answer.

    Cheers.


    No the UK RV's do not have slideouts. Could be Australian, but I do not recognise the modell, complete mystery who built it
