I went to the JY and found a cosmetically similar wheel on a 300E (w124). I didn’t realize it was a different offset and I bought it for a spare. I got a flat a few years ago and noticed the offset was off. The wheel is so far in it disappears in the 126 wheel well.
I disliked the rims from day one and wish the idiot po stuck with the bundts. I could kinda tell he was a vain bird by his other service records. But the car came with four new 15” Michelins so I stuck with them long enough to get used to them.
Would it help you if I pulled them off and photographed the markings on the insides? I recall they say made in Italy inside and the 300E one says made in Germany.
Does this mean a set of w123 bundts won’t sit right on a w126? That would be good to know if I ever decide to go back to bundts.
Here is my 300SD

Too bad for me you don't live near Greenville, SC. I'd swap you five of the SD bundts for the four on your car.
