Greetings,

I just picked up a set of 15" alloys at the local picknpull for $65. They are the same as this:

or this

They came from an '88 740. Currently they all have 195 60 R 15 sized tires. I am going to be mounting them on a 1992 240 Sedan.

My questions are:

What are these wheels called? I know they are different than the Virgos, although similar looking.

What is the best sized tire to buy? Priorities are: Fuel economy, handling, then speedo/odo accuracy. Any recommendations of specific tire models?

I'm assuming I can use my existing lug nuts...right? Everything I've been able to find says this is the case, and that the 740's used a different thread pitch on their lugs. If this is true, I have a complete set of 20 lugnuts for a 740 if anyone needs them.

Does anyone have 2 extra centre caps they could hook me up with? I only got two from the wrecking yard.

Thanks for any and all help! I will post pics of these on my car once it happens.

Jamos
