FS: AMG Pentas 16x7.5" - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I bought these a while ago because I was planning on putting them on my 300D, but wound up selling my wagon and swapping those Pentas on to my Sedan.

As the headline says, these are genuine AMG wheels 16x7.5 with a high 42 offset. According to this wheel chart, they were designed to fit W201 and W124s of the period. They will fit other models with hub centric spacers, which I was planning to do with my W123.

They come with no tires, and no center caps. I was able to find new center caps for my other set of Pentas through the dealer for about $50.00, IIRC.

Condition: As you can see in the pictures, the inner spokes were nicely refinished, but the outer polished lip has the clear coat coming off and some oxidation. I spent about 45 minutes sanding one wheel to show how nicely these will clean up. If you have power tools, I imagine it would go faster, and you will probably want to protect the new finish with a few coats of a strong outdoor rated clear coat.

Pictures:

This is the one I sanded on for a while. Came out really nice.

The rest:

Just to show you how easily the milky clear coat and oxidation is coming off, I spent less than a minute sanding after taking the first picture.

Before:

After:

I should take the time to do this process, then put on Ebay, but I need to work on other projects.

Serial number and specifications:

Feel free to post with any further questions. I am asking $500 for the set plus shipping.

For the benefit of those intending to get your set, it would be good to post images of all four wheels that show that they're all true AMG units.

Good luck!
