from the seller ... not bad for being a barn find ... a little scraped but nothing that cant be fixed:

a set of AMG penta 8x16 ET11

to just about perfectly refinished & powdercoated black.

When they are on the car, I'll post again.

Waiting on some H&R sport lowering springs w116 specific from Germany to arrive via the slow boat ($100 shipping vs $400 UPS quik-post).

Have you had any issues with them rubbing? Will they turn lock to lock?

No, zip, zero, nada rubbing ... They turn l-2-l without any issues.
