AMG Wheels for my W116...

Anyone know where to find these cool 5-spoke black AMG wheels that came on the 450SEL AMG or the 560SEC AMG? I'd love to replace the factory 14" alloys with something cooler like these.
(See attached image file.)

I think the only way you could find 'em are from wrecker's yards or E-Bay.
Just browse ebay every now and then.

I think for the 116 I'd keep the original 14"s or put the Centra 16" wheels...

I saw some on a nissan truck the other day at home depot.

Do you want the ones exactly like you pictured or do you want the ones that the spokes go back toward the rim at the end?

my friend has some of the ones that go back in at the end.

A company called Ronal Racing made a wheel like that for a long time. I think the name of the wheel was the R5 (although I may be mistaken). The wheel has long been discontinued, and a new wheel has taken the r5 name. This wheel was really popular on the mercedes cars and there is a good chance you will be able to find some if you look diligently on the used section of mercedes forums. I dont know how prevelent the wheels were on the sedans, but on the 80s 500SL cars they were quite popular.

I hope this helps.

Those are actually "Ronal R9" wheels, made for AMG. Pretty common to see them on other cars.
