8 slot wheels
My E320 1994 cabriolet has only 13K miles but I want to replace two of the original 8 slot wheels with curb rash with the same type. My wheels are Ronal with a Mercedes part number of 1244011212. I found a couple Lemmerz another german manufacturer like Ronal so was wondering if anybody knows what German companies produced these for Mercedes and would all be the same if they had the same MB part number cast on the back?

13K ! Like in total, ever ?
And its a drop top !
And I just drooled .
Got pix?
As long as the part numbers are the same, should be same dimensions etc
Although, if you're going for perfection, a full set might be best for them to match condition. But then again how much brake dust can you produce in 13k...

Thanks
Yes bought 10 years ago from original Grandma owner with only 10 K original miles -windscreen was still in plastic bag never used. Will post some pics soon as I am getting it ready for a show. triple black and always in climate controlled garage so a pretty pristine example. Spare never used and tool bag still in plastic unopened. Original Michelin MXV3 tires and thinking I should replace them so thats why I am wanting perfect wheels. Probably should just have all 4 wheels refinished so color tone matches. Do they fill in (weld)for curb rash and then remachine to specs?

94 Wagon and 94 Cabriolet
Triple black Cabriolet with under 15k miles? This would be my first choice for a personal car in any 124 including all of the fast variants, v8, amg, 3.4/3.6, any of them.
I would replace the wheels, with new: they may cost a percentage more, but sometimes, a refinished wheel is not perfect, I've had to return wheels to the wheel shop after finding high speed wobble more than a few weights would resolve.
