IMHO, Spinners really don't go on a Classic Auto like your 78 300D!

Thumbs up

I generally agree, but if you are going to get wheels for your ride, the few styles that would look good are 17" brabus mono IVs. I had a set on my W123 and they looked awsome, they really set the car off. and, I am selling them, so let me know if your interested; thanks.

Not on any auto is correct, however, IMHO, more suitable on a late madel luxury SUV or truck. I would never buy them.

1978 300D
Thanks

I appreciate the feedback. I'm not familiar with wheels at all, but my 300D is a great looking ride and I want to tighten it up with new wheels.
I think the spinners look good but I've never seen them on a car like this.
Thanks for the feedback.

Luke, are you sure you passed your math classes when you were in school ?

The proper forumla is:

Any Car + Spinners = Bad very, very bad.

Now class repeat after me:

Any Car + Spinners = Bad very, very bad.
