Hi Ste,

Welcome. Nice 124 car. Who makes the wheels? I have never seen them.

Holson · 07-03-2003, 06:40 PM

I believe they are Brabus Monoblock III's and yeah they are really nice. I'm looking for a set (preferably in 17x7.5) for my E420. Either those or the Evo II wheels.

///AMG124 · 07-13-2003, 07:48 PM

Those wheels look like BORBET's

bd37703 · 07-20-2003, 01:56 AM

'91 300E ..........

CME4BENZ · 07-21-2003, 10:29 AM

Nice 124 car. What size tires do you run on those 16 X 7.5 rims.

I am looking at the same size wheels and wondering what tires I can fit without making any fender/suspension mods.

baco99 · 07-22-2003, 10:08 AM

doc-- that car is SICK!

jmbig · 07-22-2003, 03:30 PM

Here's my addition - '90 300e

Beautiful "CE".

What size wheels and what size tires are on it?

I am looking to change the wheels on my CE, Those look great on yours.

Thanks CME4BENZ,
I can´t remember the tire size but the wheels are 17´s. I will check and get back to you. This is my first MB and so far it has been a wonderful experience - I think I´m in love

CME4BENZ · 07-23-2003, 04:08 PM

The wheels look like they are off of an E420. I would love to know the tire size. DO they rub? Did you have to modify the suspension or the fenders for clearance?

ZorroAMG · 07-23-2003, 04:29 PM

CME4BENZ,

16x7.5 and 17x7.5 will pose no probs to your car with no suspension mods, it may, however, look weird, since the profile of the tires will be smaller, creating a larger gap in the wheel wells. I have 17x7.5 right now, my car is lowered SIGNIFICANTLY and I get no rub, nor have I modified my fenders. My AMG MonoII's are directly off a 1996 C36 AMG and fit fine. I am in the process of putting my 18x8 Carlsson 2/6's and I have work to do, but that is a separate issue

Have fun with your Benzo's everyone!

CME4BENZ · 07-23-2003, 04:50 PM

Thanks for the input. I want to fill the wheel wells a little as well as adding a little bigger footprint. Stock combo is 15" wheels with 195/65/15s. I am looking at 16 X7.5s and 215/55/16 tires. Was thinking of putting on a 215/60/16 to get a little more circumference (fill the wells a little more) but tirerack will not "gaurantee" that the 60s will not rub.

I like the E420 17s on "siggis" car. I am not planning to lower it or am I looking for a "slammed" look. I just want a little more tire.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

ZorroAMG · 07-23-2003, 06:39 PM

CME: Clean out your PM inbox!! I tried to bring this to pm's...

CME4BENZ,
the tires on my car are 215/45 in front and 235/40 at back. They don´t rub unless I take a speed bump by suprise

, but the car is lowered but like I said, I bought the car as it is now. I have not done anything to it but clean it inside and outside, and drive it

I have to say that it is a bit to low for my taste but I´m going to try it for a bit before deciding what to do - keep it lowered or bring it to original specs.

That's an arospeed muffler. IT sound really nice, and is much louder than stock. Now it's not so loud that it bugs you or makes people turn heads, it's just a perfect balance of loud and quiet

You'd love it I'm sure.

It's louder than a Remus.

davis449 · 07-27-2003, 04:48 PM

I swear, Doc, your car makes me want a 124 so bad! That car is the *****. How much was your muffler?

Thank you

That makes me happy to hear that

Muffler retails around 100-150 bucks. It was just given to me by a friend for 20 bucks

I'm working on a simple mod right now, that oughta make the brakes look nice

. The car is sitting outside up on the jack. I'll post pics tonight or tomorrow to show you guys

Asmod3us · 07-28-2003, 02:48 AM
