16" New Look Wheels
Hi,
I've seen a few listings on Ebay for 16" "New Look" Mercedes alloy wheels (the style that was used on post-1986 w126's). I thought those wheels were only available in a 15" diameter. The listings say that the 16" size was used on r129 SL's. Are the Ebay listings correct? Was that style of wheel really available in a 16" diameter? If so, can they be used on a w126 -- in particular, on a 560SEC? What would be the best tire size for that car with those wheels? Thanks in advance for any help. |

Check offset
In 1990-1991 the 129 series had the 16" version on the 1986-1991 W126 wheel. The difference of course was the offset the 129 is much higher. Without adapters/spacers they will not look correct (sit IN TOO far) let alone fit correctly.
