Less   unsprung weight.   That makes the ride better.No rust.  Don't 
need to be repainted, at least not for 40 years or more   They are 
easier to change or move around off the car because they weigh less.   
And, they have those pretty white stripes under the hubcap!

Re: [MBZ] Aluminium "Steelies"

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Hubcaps are much more durable over 40-60 years, don't need to be 
repainted (unless you rub them against curbs) and are MUCH easier to 
clean than a bundt.   Most bundts by now have been repainted once or 
thrice, or are ugly.  Bundts get curb rash easily.  This effectrively 
makes them scrap to an exhibitor.  For a rustbucket, who cares, but for 
a car like andrew's current or old wagons, scratched up bundts ruin the 
appearance.


I'll take hubcaps and steel wheels over bundts anytime.  Aluminum wheels 
like started this thread, and hubcaps are the ideal, optimum.

I don't understand that. The newer 123s came with bundts and everyone 
wanted to upgrade cars with caps to bundts. I sold a set of steel 
wheels and caps to a guy for $200 about a month ago who wanted to put 
them on in place of bundts.

If someone wants a pair of nice regular W123 (14”) bundts and has a set of
