Question wheels

Dee,

What size are your wheels and tires? I may go with some new more "kool" style like those or similar. Just not wanting to sacrifice wheel base/turning ratio etc.

Mine is a W123 300D 1981

Dakota

1981 300D China Blue 193 K

I'll have to look. I don't know because the ones I have on the car now are not the ones you see in the picture.

The ones I have on the car right now are the five spoke wheels from a current C class. They look pretty nice, but not as nice as the AMGs in the picture.

Is "bent" some sort of new slang I haven't heard before (like, "That's sick!") or does it mean they are no longer the shape they were originally?

No bent as in "not round." That's why the C-class ones are on it now, plus the tires were brand new.
