Don, I have been told that the W140 takes a special wheel (different hub fitting plus the larger offset) than the W126. I wasn't able to put W126 wheels on my W140 and would suspect the opposite is true as well, but I don't know that for sure.
Be aware that the W126 never had the 8 hole option from the factory, only bundts and flatface types but I think Tirerack has developed a relica 8 hole wheel. On 6/13/06, Donald Snook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I would not be afraid to buy some nice 8 hole wheels from TireRack." I agree, Tire Rack wheels are probably fine. But, Jim (from Phoenix) has some nice 8 hole wheels that are 16 X 7.5 with some nice Michelins on them. If I buy four new wheels from Tire Rack that will be $400. If I buy his they will be $350 and I get some good tires. ($350 is what he has them on ebay for - maybe I can offer him Kaleb pricing). The only problem is I think the offset is going to be too much. His wheels are +51 offset. So, I think that is too much difference. But, I am not sure. Donald H.
