W123 Wheels
W123 Wheels
Cheers
Hi everyone, I have been looking around for a new set of wheels for my W123. I'm rocking 14" steelies at the moment but as far as aftermarket wheels go, the 5x112 sizes on ebay almost always have a big offset. I notice that people are able to fit all sorts of different wheels on their cars, so maybe there's something I am missing when it comes to fitment.
Cheers

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

I searched for a long time to find a set of rims I could actually afford and that I liked.
'82 300D -3" straight pipe, ALDA deleted, 3in1 glowshift gauge, HX30, egr-less manifold, A/W intercooler
'14 Ram 6.7l cummins -G56 handshaker, wishing it was deleted
Besides mustang wheels being ugly... haha

When properly done with centering rings, wobble bolts would work fine on 5x4.5" wheels on our MB's. I was gonna buy a set of BBS RS's from vrwheels.com (they always have plenty of 16" ones) But happened to find a guy on CL with 5x112 RS's so I snatched those up instead.
I relipped them with 3.5" lips in the front. Yes they fit with a little fender rolling and the right stretched tire. LOL
Theres also never a shortage of wheels for sale on stanceworks.com Youll have to scroll through pages and pages though.
X3 BBS RS's OR AMG Pentas (dished ones, not flat)
