STLe320

Now, before I start, I'm gonna say I'm not too sure about these wheels...but they have possibilities. M

My 94 e320 is champagne (plan to color match cladding) and will soon have a black s600 style grille. I also plan to buy Zorro's projectors (chrome). How would these wheels look?

Also, would those specs be alright? ET42? I plan to lower it soon...so yeah

Thoughts?

I want your negative thoughts as well, I need the truth here lol

Truth? I kind of dig em'...they will be pretty different than your average disk style MB wheel, that's for sure. I think that 42 offset might be too deep though, I would think something like 35 or 37 would be better...might need spacers. BTW: I have ADR wheels and they are pretty nice...although the powder coat finish on mine (black chrome) is a little too delicate for my tastes. Mine are do for a re-powder coat after only 4 years due to chipping ( no rashing)

What mm spacers should I use? How about 10? Or would that be too much?

My friend told me that 10mm is really the max you should go because it can put strain on the hub. The rims are interesting. I think they would look good on a black car, Im not sure onf silver/champagne.

My current experience with my 8" wide wheels and and an offset of ET35 is that I need to run fender spacers and roll the fenders in order to eliminate any rubbing during turning/braking. That said, I would prefer my wheels were ET37. I would think that your net offset should be close to ET35-37 as well...so probably 5-7mm is all you need, and because these are 7.5" wide, you should not need to roll the fenders or run fender spacers.

I was looking on ebay under "5x112 spacers" and got some results. It seems they only have 3, 10, and 15mm.

Shanman, do you have a link to some spacers that would work on a 124?

Saijin_Naib

H&R has spaces for w124. I found on product site somewhere.

I've seen these on other cars (mostly Jettas) and I can't stand them. I've only liked blocky type wheels on our cars.

ZorroAMG

Marky no likey.

They'd look nice with some tribal graphics...

All about personal opinion, of course. If you like them - get them.

I've always thought that the w124 doesn't do thin spoked / too fancy wheels well, but I was surprised how much I liked the look of Shanman's thin spoked black wheels when I saw his pictures. The design of his wheels is simple, which helps.

ShanMan

Thanks Coupe. Interestingly enough, I am thinking of having them refinished in a bright silver or maybe a charcoal....high gloss either way. I probably should do a photoshop to see how it would look first though.

those ADR wheels STL posted up are hideous.
sometimes being different is just plain ugly.

I think the turbine looking rims would be sick on a shiny black/gray w124 that is dropped decently low.
