New to W126 Wheel Question??
Hi,
I currently drive a 2004 E55 and have recently had the pleasure of acquiring a 1989 300SE. My question is regarding wheels. Is there any way to fit a staggered set of 18 inch Monoblocks from a 2000 CL500 on this car? If not, is there anywhere anyone can recommend that I can pick up a set that fits?
Thank you in advance,
Baris

Baris,
What's the ET reading on the back of your E55 wheel? I think is around 40 or higher. I am afraid is not going to fit but to be certain, let me know and I will tell you for sure if it fits.

Did you find the ET number on your CL wheels? If is above 35, try to get 17's or 18's with an ET31 or less, if not they will likely rub with suspension components. Also, running high ETs you will need spacers, which are not cheap nor easy to get, plus you'll need longer bolts, which defeats the purpose if you are getting those because of a good price. I don't intend to discourage you, but this is not going to be a couple hundred bucks affair. Let me know if you need further info !!!
