18 x 8.5 on a W124??

These wheels are listed as supposedly fitting my stock 300E. Can anybody share real life experience with this wheel, or a similar wheel on the 300Es?

The wheels look good. Really depends on all the roads in your area, i know a lot of guys who run 18" on a w201 and dont mind it.

See if you can get the weight of the wheel from the seller. You don't want too much extra unsprung weight, makes the steering feel ****ty and your suspension will take more of a beating.
