The chrome wheel arches are an abomination on any car and also hasten infection with the tinworm. I can’t count the number of W126s I’ve seen over the years where all it took to start rust occurring with these things on the car was the little screws they used to self-drill into the fender lip.
I’m not a fan of the 8-hole wheels on W123s, but with the limited choices of wheel sizes for these cars, especially 15” versions, I would consider it for just that reason. I’ve owned a W123 with stock 15” steel wheels, and it was a totally different car to drive compared to the 14” stock wheels. I completely agree that they should be bundts (yuck!) or steelies with color-keyed wheel covers, the classiest looking setup I've ever seen on any car trying to coordinate wheel colors with the body color scheme. -D > On Jul 10, 2024, at 10:41 AM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I think the chrome wheels and arches are are ugly and wrong, the W123 needs > to have Bundts or hubcaps.
