Greetings all. I'm selling a complete set of four Ronal R-9 wheels with nearly new tires. I restored these myself and used them on my w123 wagon until I sold it about a year ago. I kept the wheels in hopes of buying another Benz to run them on, but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen now, and I want to clean out my garage.
This is a really unique set of original wheels. In my opinion, they provide the ideal look for a vintage Benz:
Front pair: Ronal R-9 16x7 five-spoke wheels with black centers; tires are 215/55 Sumitomo Srixon4 (a high-performance, all-season tire)
Rear pair: Ronal R-9 16x8 five-spoke wheels with black centers; tires 235/55 (same type)
Yes, that's right: The rears are 1" wider than the fronts, but the fit on my wagon was absolutely perfect, with no rubbing or interference of any kind. Here are some pix:

The tires have less than 5,000 miles on them and still look new. The wheels are hardly concourse shape, but they have an authentic vintage look and could be much nicer if you're willing to spend the elbow grease. One wheel has the original black paint rubbed through in spots on one of the spokes (see closeup), revealing primer or white paint underneath.
This set should fit any w123 car and may fit many a w126 as well (but confirming that is up to you). The package gives a smooth, quiet ride and much improved handling over stock.
I want $650 firm for the set. Includes a mismatched set of center caps that you can repaint yourself and a box of used OEM lugnuts.
Located in Sacramento, Calif. Will not ship.
Send me a PM if you're interested! Thanks!
