Is it time to resurrect the synthetic air thread?

BTW, I just today wrote a couple emails to custom wheels shops asking if they could reproduce MB baroque style wheels in 16 or 17 inch models. I'll let you know what kind of prices they come back with.

Awesome!!

Does anyone know the tire size on the clk 16" wheels?

IMO the tires are a bit too small on the sidewall when ivevseen them fit to a w123, but then again I'm a fan of the 215/55-16 tire size. 17" would be a bit too much for a w123 but maybe ok for w126 cars.

Still looking forward to what you find...

I highly recommend polished over chrome. IMHO a better kind of shine. It costs about the same as chrome to have them done too. I've had chrome, which peeled and pitted. I love these polished wheels. I ran them in Mammoth for 4 years, then in Palm Springs for 7 years (still have, but in storage). Very easy to care for, I used Gord's.



FWIW I did have to change the chrome lugs after a few years because they rusted.

What did you change them to Gary?

Wow I like that look... Who did the polish job? What scared me was that it seemed to me that the polished surface constantly oxidizes, so needs to be polished over and over. I suppose if it was polished and then a clear powder coat was applied that might protect it well. But the need to consistently repeat polishing scared me off when I was doing the research.

The coding I am using is not standard electroplated chrome. Instead it is a vapor deposition process followed by a clear powder coat. It's already on shipment to California so we'll have to see how it works out.
