Re: [MBZ] Wheel Upgrade?
Without knowing the offset (ET), hard to tell if they will fit or not. The W126 takes an offset of around 25. I bought some tires with wheels a few years ago and while the tread was fine, they were sidewall checked and lasted only about a year before I had an internal separation. Wouldn't do it again. Price seems OK for now but the shipping seems awfully high. On 1/18/06, Roger Conlon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Any opinions of these style and size wheels/rims for a upgrade 15 to 16 on 126 300SDL?

The rims are a 7.5Jx16H ET23. It's about a 3hr drive one way to pick them up.

What makes you think they would rub?

Re: [MBZ] Wheel Upgrade?
Roger, here's another thought. Log on to www.tirerack.com and see if they offer that wheel size and tire size in their upgrade area for the W126. If yes, it would be a go as they are very good about this sort of thing. On 1/18/06, Roger Conlon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What makes you think they would rub?

Re: [MBZ] Wheel Upgrade?
Roger, I put a set of stock 16 S Class wheels from a 2003 model on my 1985 300D. You can find a set of 4 complete with tires on Ebay for 3-400 dollars depending upon the condition of the tires. My fitment required a set of adapters which I also found on Ebay. The seller's name was something like Ernie's. Everybody that sees it comments on how good it looks.
