I need a set of 14" wheels for the W201...so I can put my snow tires on them for my 190.....please contact me if you have a decent set (4) available.

I have 4, but need to find steelies for this 190e....did 190e's ever come with steelies?

I don't think the W201 ever shipped with steel wheels in the USA, but they did in many other countries...

How much would you want for those 14" W201 rims?

What's the going rate? Like $50 a corner with lugs?

Do you know if W123 steel wheels (or Alloy steel look-a-likes) fit without issue? Same offset?

I don't believe W123 wheels are interchangeable with W201....

Everybodyghost · #6 07-10-2013, 12:38 AM

Herm. Offsets are different. i can find people trying to fit W201 wheels to W123s, but not the other way around. Let me try and fit a wheel tomorrow and get back to you. i was hoping that a W201 steelie was in existence stateside. I'd rather be running steel on this old thing.

I already have my snow tires on 14" bundts on the car I am retiring soon....so if those fit right onto a W201 that would be awesome. I doubt they will though....

Everybodyghost · #8 07-10-2013, 05:45 PM

Try one on the front and let me know if they work. I don't think there'd be any issue on the rear, unless it was an ABS car or something.

pawoSD · #9 07-11-2013, 07:45 AM

It was ABS. But its not currently....I'll see if I can test them out this weekend...

I thought the W201 wheels were all 15 inch. (I could be wrong - but I think I read it somewhere)

The 84 came with 14 inch wheels I had a set and sold it for scrap

Yeah just the 1984's did. I have a set of nice 14" snow tires....so I will probably need 14" w201 rims to use them on my 190d....

The ones I have are 14 inch, but I still need to find out if I have (or can get) a set of steelies that will run on this 190.

Stretch · #14 07-12-2013, 02:11 AM

Ah ha - the W201 FSM has a bit about this. In 1984 (some of) the wheels were steel but were narrower than the W123 ones 5J X 14 - most W123 ones where 6J or 5.5J depending on vehicle weight and model

Here's a link to chapter 40

I am going to try mounting some bundt's on my W201 tonight or tomorrow to check the fit....if it works thats how I'll be rollin'
