W126 420SEL
Wheel options for W126?

Hey,

New to this site. I'm new from the Audi world and recently got a 1991 420SEL with 25k on the odo in Brilliant Black. I've realized suspension options on these Mercedes are pretty rare (either custom bags or Bilstein Shocks/H&R Springs) but also...

I am trying to source out a set of AMG Monoblock's here in the states or atleast someone who makes a replica wheel that meets OEM standards. Does anyone know of a place to purchase a set? Preferably 17" wheels. Thanks for any information regarding this topic!

You should try for a set of 3-piece OZ AMG wheels. They look badass on pretty much any 126. I got mine from the Wheel Wizard in the UK and can provide contact info. if you're interested. He's pricey but the wheels are refurbished, freshly powdercoated, and come with new bolts ($2500). Here's what this wheel looks like (not mine):

You can also get them color-matched in black if you like. Good luck.

What size hub do W126 have for aftermarket wheels to fit... 57.1mm hub or 72mm hub? Thanks

I am using 75mm, blue wreath caps on mine. I know that the older versions of this wheel only fit the 72mm cap though. When I ordered mine, I specified that I wanted centers that were compatible with 75mm.
