Just my opinion but don't get sucked into 17" wheels and lowering springs on a W126. The car is a "luxobus", not a street racer. I put 16" 8-hole wheels (from The Tire Rack) on the car with Bilstein HD shocks. It rides great if a little stiff and handles as well as can be expected of this big, heavy car.

The Euro lights are great. Stock (US version) suck ass. Get the clear plastic sheeting to protect them, however.
