Cool wheels, but I always feel like they are trying too hard. The 15 hole r129s look stock and allow a wider tire. On Wed, Sep 6, 2023, 6:35 PM Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Find a set of monoblocks > > --FT > Sent from iFōn > > > On Sep 6, 2023, at 9:19 PM,

[MBZ] 124 Tires

I watched a couple of Motorweek Retro Reviews (which I really like) and the were reviewing the 124. The videos I watched were from 86, 90 and 92. In them, Motorweek loved the 124, but was critical of the tires saying they were too narrow and too soft. I’m wondering if I could upsize the
