Ashman.....those 8-hole...16" are they the same found on the W124 or the last generation C-class?

I always thought the 16" 8-hole could only be found from Germany vs from here

thanks for any insight,

Ren

16" 8 hole was found ont he SL320/500/600 and on the 500E/E500.

It was a 16x8 et34.

In europe they had a 16x7 or 16x7.5 version of this wheel on the 400e.

Several of these wheels as far as I know were only available in europe until recently.

What I noticed is that several of these wheels have the word "cast" in their name. Would that imply then that all of the wheels which are *not* so described are forged units, rather than cast?

I think all of the wheels are cast, not forged, even though they say it or not.

I had my 95 o.e. 8 hole wheels refinished, and they commented that the wheels were cast.

Forged wheels, I was told, are incredibly expensive, and very few wheels these days are forged.

I believe reading once that Porsche wheels are forged.

The 16x8 8-hole wheels on the 500E (and presumably on the R129 cars) is described in the MB product literature as a forged wheel. There was an earlier thread in which someone posted a scan of the relevant pages.

The identical wheel (at least by appearance) appears in the catalog here.

hi guys,

Would the 16x8 8-hole wheel fit my car? It's lowered so do you think it will rub?

If not, should i search for the 7.5?

By the way, the porsche rims are forged. The ones that came standard on the early 911, considered one of the strongest wheels out there...

thanks,
