No style afaik. ACT was OEM for BMW for a bit as well. My new rims are more stlyish but the wrong color for my car.

Front Wheel Part# A1294001902

Rear Wheel part# A1294002002

Anyone have a bigger wheel/tyre set up than me? Just curious.

well i finally paid alot of overdue bills and i am almost positive about what to order. these wheels are about all i can afford. what im concerned about is looking like a low rider vehicle [making the car look cheep or like my 18yr old should be driving it LOL].
i thought i'd run it past all of u guys. Voxx makes this MG wheel.
size 16X7 pattern 5-112.
the tire will be: bfg g-force sport 215-55zr-16

heres a photo please let it rip w/some comments

Thanks

Why did you go with 16" and not 15" ?

richclan · #52 09-02-2009, 04:01 PM

15" didnt seem to to be a big difference to me buying new wheels.
now if i was able to find a used set of R9 Ronals or somthing sweet like them i would have got them. sadly to say no good used wheels materialized.

16" is what most cars shown here in this and other threads have on there 123's. the handling is better and ride wont be that much harsher. i went with 55 series and not the 50 series tires.

17" seemed to be too much, i would have to go to a 45 series tire.

Is there a good thread around here for refinishing hub caps?

I just discovered I have a set of good snow tires on steel rims. So I'll run my regular bundts in the summer, hubcaps in the winter.

I have 4 white hub caps that I need to refinish to the paint code of the '85 (929). No sense in doing too good of a job since they'll just get beat up in the snow, but at least need to make it look respectable.

chasinthesun · #56 09-22-2009, 08:03 PM

Wish I had those ronals I sold last yr.

jammybugger · #57 09-22-2009, 10:01 PM

Here is my 2 cents.....

europower · #58 09-22-2009, 10:13 PM

I painted my hubs with the black pearl same as wagon, code is db199
The 78 i like without hubcaps, black steel rims.

Apparently those plain old Bundts grew one inch bigger

mbeige's car again.

guys, would love to see some 17's or 18's on a w123. don's car doesn't look half-bad with the 15" 8-holes. 16" 8-holes would be great too, but all of them i'm aware of have a too-high offset. the blacked out lowered w123 at the gas station is very nice, too
