i honestly dont really know... i bought these wheels that came off a 2000 audi A4, they are staggered, i sort of remember but i think they are 38+ in front and 36+ in the rear, i'm running 20mm spacer in the rear from H&R with extended lug bolts...

The seats have covers on them because the perforated leather is torn :cry:...does anyone have a set laying around? lol

And the previous owner painted the wheels gunmetal...I will be painting them platinum silver very soon.

Thanks! The previous owner put the exhaust tips on...they say "matrix" on them, that's all I know about them, honestly...the car doesn't sound sporty or anything...very quiet, actually.

And does anybody know what color the rear bumpers are on our cars? I would like to touch up the scratches on mine...

This is my 1983 380SEL. One owner, garage kept, NO RUST as it has never seen snow and never out in the rain (or sun for extended periods), spare never used, MB serviced regularly with complete documentation from new to now. Has the original Motorola M800 car phone installed in trunk, original car cover, and never smoked in. AC blows cold. Still, an outstanding car to drive. More pics soon.

Thank you ! I also like the color very much. It's the original 929 (nautical blue metallic) and the wheels are Lorinser. I said almost flawless because of this: https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w126/253093-oxygen-sensor.html.

Newly acquired. And looking fwd to a long and fulfilling relationship
My care package arrived from Autohaus Az today, so I'll be busy tomorrow with plugs, rotor, cap, wires, and fuel filter. As well as instal proper lug bolts, and MB coolant. Then a thorough interior cleaning, and conditioning of leather. I will let my indie do the diff oil, bleed brakes, change oil, and trans filter and gasket. I'll do a few proper pics after clay bar, wax, and detailing.
