Opinions on "bundt rims"
My parts car I got came with the original bundt rims for the early 126's and they had new winter tires. I cant put them on the 15 hole because they are 15inch and the others are 14.
What are some opinions on the bundt wheels? When I put them on I dont think I ever had a better ride....so smooth. http://members.tripod.com/~breastroker/MB_M100_15Wheels.html

I think they look great!
And from years of personal experience, they ARE a pain in the ass to clean! For that matter, I also have the 15 hole rims and they are just as much a pain to keep clean.

totally cool, retro Benz look! I'd keep 'em. Get that German wheel cleaner spray to keep them clean.

Those style rims were one thing I never liked about MB's of the 80's. Just too industrial looking to me. I didn't like them back then, and still don't now. But everybody has different tastes.

Just my opinion, but I've always thought they were about the ugliest rims I'd ever seen. I always preferred the steel rim/painted hub cap look on the 108s, 114s, 115s.

Our S500 (W220) has the multispoke wheels (the car is 150 miles away.. I can't count the spokes from here
 ) and those are godawful to clean. If I ever get my 240D, I plan on getting a set of steel wheels and chrome/painted hubcaps, unless it already is equipped with them. I think the bundt rims were the worst we ever had; but our 380SE wasn't that bad on brake dust compared to the 3 W140s we had... our 92 300SE was the worst for some reason... suprising considering it was SWB and the other 2 W140s we had ('94 S420, '97 S420) were LWB.~D.J.~
