190 E EVO wheels

in the link below they show Sport 190 E wheels for sale . They are 15 inch but 7 inches wide. Is this correct which 190 came with 16inch wheels

Ask the seller for the offset on those rims but they appear to be EVO-1 rims in very poor condition.
If you would rather have the R129 EVO 16 inch rims they will be in better condition generally and more readily available and therefore not so expensive.
This is because R129's have lower usage/mileage.
I picked up a set locally a few years ago for half that price and in pretty decent condition.

They also look to me to be EVO I wheels. The 16v came with 16 inch wheels.

thanks for the info but the issue is them being 7 inch rims. Vs the normal 6 and 6 1/2 rims I find on 190E

Yes I know, if 7" is what you would like in gully rims, those are the ones you want but you will spend another $700 refurbishing those.
Those are hard to find rims because so few were made. They would have the correct offset (check with the seller)

There are other 7" gully rims from the S class (W126) but their offset is too small (ET25) and they do not work.

What I was suggesting was 8" wide 16" diameter gullys (R129) that can potentially be a quarter of that price because you can find them and may not have to refurbish them.

Yes those are the Cossworth 16V rims with the correct offset. If you put 190/60-15's on them you may not have to push out the front of the fender a bit.

The other option I suppose is 205/50-15 is another option. 205/55's would be too big in the front and would require quite a bit of adjustment IMHO.

But check with willtheyfit website.

Those are definitely 16V stock wheels. They were also used on regular Sportlines (non limited editions)
$700 is kind of high-I usually see those trade hands for around $200-$300.
I run 15x7 ET 37 monoblocks using the stock 205/55/15 tire size from 16V/sportline. As a note I do have spaced front fenders.
