Another rim ID question...
Can anybody tell me what wheel this is? I love the more chiseled look and smaller diameter compared to the common 17in monoblocks.

Well, its obviously an AMG, looks to me like a Aero ll Mono block, probably a 15" like this one

If it weren't for the OZ Racing stamp on the rim's lip i would say that they were some older Rondell wheels because of the branched spokes . . .
Can't seem to find any matches for these wheels anywhere . . , but if i do i will let you know
They are most likely mid 80's rally wheels though

Heh, they look like they might just be old, not sure if they qualify as vintage just yet, i am not positive that they are that old anyway i just assume by the size and style, most newer rally and race wheels that i have seen are usually at least 17"
Yeah, that was the closest match i could find but his look a bit more chiseled to me, might be some older wheels as well

W124's
Anyways, they are just AMG Aero I Monoblocks. A lot of people mistake Aero I Hammer's vs Aero I Monoblocks.
Those wheels were more common on the W201 during its AMG days. I personally think they were too small for the W124.
It was a 16x7.5" wheel with a ET37, I believe. Actually, I'm pretty confident with the size.
Here's the Part # incase anyone wants to "try" to source them.

Does anybody have pics of an Aero I Mono vs. and Aero I Hammers so I don't confuse them in the future?

Thanks Chris, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. Like I said before, I like the sharper more chiseled look of them. Did they make Aero 1 in 17s? 16 is a nice size for a daily car that I want to keep soft and comfortable and cheap on tires though.

I figured as much. I'd feel the same way if I had 'em. I guess the hunt is on for my own set. The W124 fitment of these wheels have a +28 offset, correct? I saw a set that had +11 but that would munch up my fendes for sure.
I'm still bummed I won't be able to make that meet tomorrow. I at least want to see them in person! There's a big BMW/Euro meet in Pasadena on the 25th though if you're interested. I'll probably bring the M3.

There are a couple of sets on 190rev though that I may try to pick up.
