Rims....

OK, I'm looking for rims to put on this 87 560sl I got. The aftermarkets ones look nice, but one is bent and causes a shake. Plus us a spacer which I would like to avoid....

Would the 15" that are on my 87 300D work on it? Could I make the rims from my 99 E320 Wagon Work? (I'm about to part it out I think and It has brand new rubber with only 40 miles on them)

Any other good options? I would even be interested in finding someone that might have a set of rims that would fit, so I can start really driving this car.

W124 and w210 cars have backspacing that is in the high 40s.

You need backspacing that is in the mid twenties.

R107, W126, and W123 all have similar backspacing. Anything later and the wheels tend to sit in too far.
