FyrhzrdGT Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'm thinking about putting rims on the W124 and since I have the 80s pre-facelifted model they look stupid with big dubs on them or new tuner wheels. I'm looking for some chunky like 80s wheels for it. 16s, 17s, maybe 18s. 5x112 bolt pattern. I checked craigslist and everything is like chrome 18s+ Its hard to look on ebay without knowing the name of the wheels and whatnot. Anyone got some rims off their old Miami Vice ride sitting in the shed? These are google pics, these I know are Ronal R9s, and worth a ton but to give you guys an idea http://bringatrailer.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/1984_Mercedes_Benz_280e_AMG_Rear_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pointslow Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 you looking for knock offs or real deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FyrhzrdGT Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Knock offs, there is a set on ebay for like $775 right now. They don't have to be 5 spoke I'm just going for the cast look of 80s wheels. They don't have to look like Ronal R9s either. Just something old. Not looking to spend a lot, this is my low investment DD, if I find the right wheels I'll buy them, I don't need them tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 VMR mades some good reps that might work. They are huge for the Audi's that have the same bolt pattern, but just not sure what offset you need. Might call them to see if they have a specail on anything that might fit. I hope that helps.

Patterson Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Have you looked at Wagen-Wheels.com, or Raderwerks.com? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FyrhzrdGT Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I have not, I am about to. VMRs would probably be too much dinero. Honestly this is a half assed commitment. Its my now 179k mile DD, I'm not putting $1k in rims on it. If I could make it more baller for like $200 with some rims you guys had in your shed I'd be all about it. I'll put Brabus reps on the E420 in the spring. Raderworks seems to be a lot of like 19s, too much dub for this 80s ride. I like these https://wagen-wheels.com/products/ESM_002_16-119-29.html https://wagen-wheels.com/products/Keskin_Tuning_KT1_16-66-29.html But this car is hardly worth the $1,200 wheels and tires would be.
