[MBZ] 124 8 hole wheels

Re: [MBZ] 124 8 hole wheels
There are two brands of after market wheels that look like the factory 8 holers on Tire Rack now, I don't know that the bolts for them are inter changeable, or that they would be the same as the older wheels I have. The after market wheels I have now have the following cast into the inside of the wheels: MC; 0370536; 7Jx15H2; ET36; K3; and on the outside - opposite the valve stem - KBA 12359.

Re: [MBZ] 124 8 hole wheels
The standard 8-hole wheels (15 x 6.5) for a W124 should be pretty easy to locate either new or used, and shouldn't be that expensive, either. Call Potomac German Auto (PGA) for a price on used wheels, Rusty for new OE, or try Tire Rack for new aftermarket. Caution: The 1995 wheels are brushed aluminum finish with clearcoat, the previous (93-94 I think?) are painted silver color. Minor difference, but noticeable if you have one of each on the same side of the car, lol! BTW - I'd avoid Adsit like the plague. There are a bazillion horror stories about those clowns on most Mercedes web forums. Buy new stuff from Rusty, and for one-stop shopping for used parts, PGA is the way to go. :-) -Dave M. > -- > Date: Sun, 05 Mar 2006 22:22:18 -0500 > From: Mitch Haley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] 124 8 hole wheels > > "Kaleb C.
