The most popular upgrade for the early 126's is to install the later 15 flat face wheels. I dont really know of any sort of upgrade that stays with 14 wheels. --- Kaleb C.

They fit just fine, there is no conflict. --- Kaleb C.

I asked about this a couple weeks ago regarding snow tires, some said the flat 15 rims off the SEL might conflict on the SD. I measured the flat ones the other day, they had 4 3/4 offset from the inside face of the center to the outer edge of the inner side (what is that, like 120mm?). Where do you measure to get the actual diameter? The largest edge-edge dimension was about 16, the inside-inside dimension was about 15 which I guess is what they are. --R Kaleb C.
