They look good on any car - My brother-in-law has them on his W209.

Not really the most popular wheels amongst the W124 group but they look nice nonetheless.





Those type of wheels look better staggered. It looks goofy in my opinion when you get the same size on all four corners.

Yes, for $399! I can't get them yet, but these might just be the wheels for me.

I am also buying from O.E. They have really nice wheels for cheap. BTW, MGW, where would you get new lugs for wheels? I need some for the wheels above your post.

You could probably get some locally from a tire place.

I bought chrome CLK 16" wheels with new goodyear assurance tires for tEh wagon....I just couldn't get myself away from a good deal. Dont hate me Fuggers

$295 bux, great deal if you ask me

But those are not the wheels I'm planning to get, these will get me through the little bit of winter left + spring.

Dont hate me guys I'll post pix. I was thinking of painting the center spokes black...but I dunno given that I will again buy new wheels come summer time

LOL do you likey?? I will I PROMISE as soon as UPS brings them to me.

I used to really like these wheels when I first bought my car, the owner of a w124 had them on his wagon and they looked terrific but I could never find a good deal on them.
