Tom Hanson makes mention that there are 15 inch steel wheels that take hub caps. I want to keep the hub cap look, but have trepidation about investing good cash in rims that will have obsolete tire sizes in a few years. I can buy obsolete tires now for big cash or spend reasonable cash on a larger size tire on a more modern wheel clay On Jan 3, 2013, at 6:43 AM, Rusty Cullens wrote: > I have the 15 hole 15" wheels new for $125.00 each plus shipping. > > Rusty Cullens > buyMBparts, Inc. > 6755 Peachtree Industrial Blvd. > Suite 260 > Atlanta, GA 30360 > > 800-741-5252 > 770-452-7320 > -----Original Message----- > From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of > clay monroe > Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2013 6:43 PM > To: Mercedes Discussion List > Subject: Re: [MBZ] R107 wheel upgrades > > I do too. > > I am in a bind over being able to source a tire that performs to the > design specifications of the car.
