Ronal R-9s look sweet but I would have to say that 15" Baroque bundts are the coolest wheel for a w123. Can't find them anywhere however.

I have 15" wheels from a 190E/D.
The move from 14" to 15" wheels made a big difference in cornering flex. Feels more stable. "those 190 wheels will never fit (at least on the front)" They fit, but I've always had major inside tread tire wear. I thought it was from bad camber alignment.

I have been SO frustrated over the years that there arent enough wheels made with a 25et. It drives me INSANE. It really reduces the options of upgrading to new wheels w/o having to do mods. I am not a fan of spacers.
However, if I could make it work, id have to say my top wheel choice for my W123 300DT would be BBS RC's, in 16 or 17" Diameter. Realistically id go with 16" 8-holes, or the ultra rare 15" Bundts.
