I still cannot find this wheel !
I hae looked everywhere and cannot find this wheel, it looks like it is a 18" and comes staggered on the car i cropped this image from, i can find very similar wheels that do not have the rivets around the inset of the lip but i cann ot seem to find this exact rim
Is it a replica or just a rare wheel?
My rims are on their way out due to some cracks in the front and chipping chrome all around and i want to replace them with these
If anyone can help me find these, either a part number or a member that has a set it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks ! i finally found a place that sells them in Australia . . .
They are R129 SL 2-pc wheels, i guess from the mid 90's before they went mono
I like the rivets because it gives them a bit more edge without looking cheesy especially on the 124 coupe, imo the best looking wheels for the car

Replicas
If you want replicas, there is a place on ebay that sells them and they claim that they will fill the 124, but the rear wheel @ 18x9 ET35 sounds too wide from what people have posted in the past.

1993 Mercedes 400E V8 4.2L
I bought those exact same wheels for my 93 mercedes 400e. With my car being lowered with bilstein ss and hr springs setup, i'm driving these with all four fenders rolled ... They fit perfectly fine with no rubbing at all, even on sharp corners. Running falken azenis tire size 225 40 18 fronts since they're 18 x 8 and the rear 245 40 18 ( 18x 9) ... The product are great quality since i live in the same town where the wheels were sold and checked out there facility production area. They even provide lifetime structural warranty so you don't have to worry. I'll post up pix soon

Yeah, pictures please man, $500 is much better than $2800
Just wish they came already chromed . . .
Who knows, maybe silver with a polished lip will look good on my car . . .
Thanks for the link
And to be honest i think they look better without the AMG stamp
How much do each of these wheels weigh by the way? my rims are replicas but they are pretty heavy making for a smoother ride imo

The link you gave me was sold but i found a few others at the same store but they do not list the e class as the right fitment but it looks like the offset and bolt pattern is the same, can comeone clarify if this set will fit the same as the set that sold?

I just called the seller, he said the wheels are around 26lbs which is actually a few pounds heavier than the AMG wheels which is good, i am most likely going to order these this weekend, thanks again for the heads up

I first noticed these wheels on the 124 coupe shown in the picture below and thought they looked sick, this car is a bit lower than mine but i might go lower in the future anyway, the only thing i do not like about my current rims is that they are not staggered so the rear wheel is recessed into the well about an inch and makes it look like there is a huge gap between the wheel and well
Anyway, i got bored and changed the color of this car real quick to look more like mine so i could get a better idea of how these will look on my car and here is what it looks like, pretty much the same as mine but i don't have the body kit, i have the vanity plate and the interior color is different, i am going to get an avantgarde grill as well
