That is a good idea, I will see if I can sometime. There should be lots of C-class rims around. That being said, we have virtually no Mercedes in pick and pulls here, so it's a hugely hit and miss deal.
I seem to remember seeing pics on one of the Facebook groups of a guy with C-class alloys on his w123, which surprised me.
I did not really believe the w124 rims would work until I tried them in my driveway.
I purchased the steelies and tires from a friend who used to work for an Audi dealer, who 'rescued' them from a w124 taken on trade... no hubcaps with. Our cars look so bad around here all winter, from salt/slush/roadspray, that lots of people just run the steelies bare anyway, doesn't make the cars look any worse.
