For Sale: 16" x 7.5" 8-Hole Rims & NEW Kumho 205/55/16 Tires $499
I bought these as I was worried that 215/45/17's would be too harsh. They're not with the Vogtland springs, so I'm selling these.
The rims are 8-hole replicas from Tire Rack. The current replicas are made in Korea; these are made in Italy, offset is ET 37, so definitely will fit underneath any W124 car. No curb rash , but not new either. Comes with chrome/painted center caps. They have been on backorder from Tire Rack for the past half year, so you can't even get them from Tire Rack right now. For the performance minded, these rims weigh 20.6 pounds vs. 26 pounds for AMG Aeros, so unsprung weight is quite a bit less.
The tires were used for 200 miles only and have full tread, purchased in August this year. They are Kumho ECSTA ASX ultra-high performance tires, see: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....odel=ECSTA+ASX . Load index is 91 with a W speed rating, which is good for up to 168 miles per hour : ) Tires were balanced by a Tire Rack approved installer. I had metal valve stems installed.
Selling price is $499 for all four rims & tires. If you want better handling and braking while keeping the stock look at a reasonable price, then these are for you.

Price went up due to change in US exchange rate over the last year.
So $800 USD or $800 CDN : )
Car was in the shop for 10 months, fan clutch was slipping, car overheated, fried the wiring harness, which in turn fried the main engine computer and the fuel injection computer also. It's running fine, now : )
