I think I have exactly those rims on my SD.

The ones I got with the car were custom fitted at a big tire specialty store by the PO. He bought 4.

He left a 14” Bundt in the trunk with a baggie of shorter lug bolts.

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

W123, W126, R107, and W116 are all "low offset" cars and can trade wheels. You cannot use stock bundts on a 1986+ W126 due to the bigger brakes which require a 15" wheel minimum.

Ok, I guess that makes sense. I took the wheel with the funny offset off a 300E w124. I should try swapping my bundts from my 300d to my 300sd to see how it looks.

First I like to say that’s a nice 300sd, and thanks for offering to pull a wheel but my pictures confirm what Diesel300 said about the offset range (22-25)mine show Et25 thanks for the input.
Funny you should mention the 14”” Bundt in the trunk thought maybe for a minute you peeked in mine
My other 85sd has the bundts so when I park them side by side I still like the look of the bundts but I like the way the 15’s ride.
I’ve had my other SD for 11 yrs and have enjoyed it very very much so when the opportunity presented itself to pick up another I couldn’t resist.

I really appreciate this forum, where would we all be without the experience and support that is offered here so freely. Thanks Again

I tried it, it will not work. Indeed, the brake calipers on a 1986 w126 prevented the 14" bundts from bolting up.

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.
