the wheels are still available. the previous owner said they came off his s class mercedes. there is also a 16x8 version that was available for c and e classes
going from et38 to et32 isn't too big of a difference if the wheel widths are the same. not sure what would cause steering issues involving wheels, make sure your wheels have the correct size tires?

The wheel width increased from around 195 standard to 225.

The best way to describe it is that it just feel very light and pulls badly on uneven ground. It seems to be very sudden when it pull. It really feels like it wants to pull you across the road.

I have been trying to get to the bottom of this and think it is a mixture of wheel width increase and ET.

I guess I should prob go for a slightly thinner ET38 rather than going wider as I am sure this would make things worse.

Thanks for the reply.
