WTB: Set of (4) w126 gen 2 (15 hole) wheels

I've been looking online at some options from eBay (mostly "remanufactured") and a local MB parts yard, which has used rims that would need to be refinished.

I purchased a set for my 84 SD four years ago and had them professionally sand blasted and powder coated, however I've never really been thrilled with the finish (it isn't an exact match to MB silver and it wasn't powder coated so the finish has started to dull a bit).

Anyone have any that you need to get rid of, or know of a good source for remanufactured rims (not reproductions)?

Haven't looked at these wheels in a couple years, they are boxed and put up - but they are 15 hole OEM W126 wheels that have been chromed. I believe some dealers (especially in CA) chromed OEM wheels. My SDL has a set and this was another set that was inteded for a SD that is since gone. As my memory serves me 2 of the wheels were a score of 8/10 and two were 5/10. The later two needed to be re-chromed. If these are of interest I can dig them out and snap some pics.

Thanks for the response. I actually prefer non-chrome rims. The SDL that I just purchased had chrome wheels, however I swapped them out for the non-chromed powder coated set that I have.

Thanks anyway.
