450SL Wheels on a W123?
My neighbor just gave me the chrome bundt cakes off his '76 450 SL. The finish is coming off, but they're straight and the base metal seems to be ok.
The size seems to be 14x6.5, not sure of the offset. Will they fit my W123's? PS: I searched, but didn't find an answer.

Thanks!
At least one of my W123's will be getting an upgrade. I can't keep hubcaps on my 240D (due to Break-A-Heart Rd aka Break-A-Car). Maybe I'll swap the 300D's wheels and tires to the 240 and put the new wheels with new tires on the 300.

although i agree they will bolt up and such, they may have a different offset.
on my 500sec the wheels are the same as from an sl and they sit further out on the car than standard sedan wheels. i am not sure exaclty how much i guess between .5 and one inch. it can be visually observed. i doubt that this will cause a problem but it may create a little more negative camber. i wouldn't be afraid to put them on one of my sedans but i would keep an eye on the tire wear. tom w

Are you sure they're chrome plated and not just polished? MB does not recommend chrome plating their rims because it compromises rim integrity.
