Is there a factory 15" wheel for my 123 car?

I have an 1983 240D that I'd like to put 195/60x15 tires on. I think the 126 body used the same wheel as the 300D. Does anyone know if any year/model 15" wheels have the same offset that my 123 car has? Thanks

The 126 did come later with 15" wheels. They weigh a lot more than your stock 240 wheels though about 20# vs about 14# or less depending on what year your 240 is. This will make your lovely little sweet handling and riding 240 ride roughly.

I would always stick with stock or nearly stock wheels and tires on a 240 personally.

Any wheel from a W-126 from '86-'91 will be satisfactory for what you're looking for. You might consider 205-60-15's for the W126 wheels for a better fit. They were originally delivered with 205-65-15's.
