Yes a 505. I'm then mistaken! I don't have any experience witha 504. It may
very well be a good solid car.

It was on the 229.1 approved lists for diesel engines. What's not
certain is whether today's M1 15W-50 is the same oil.

For my last change on the '91 300D I went with Brad Penn 15W40 from LN
Engineering. So far so good but all I have to go on is the pressure at
idle - which looks better than before - but there are so many variables it's
not a great gauge. I'll run a test on it before long and see what the ZDDP
Do you know what the zinc levels are on the Brad Penn 15W40?

Flip them over and get the part number off them. The first three digits
are the most important.

The reason why I'm asking is because it is a fairly inexpensive oil that I'd
like to use on my 71 280SL. AFAIK the green Brad Penn stuff has high zinc
levels but I don't think that 15W40 is green. Right now I'm using Valvoline VR1
20W50 Racing oil on the 280SL and it is around $4.50 per quart
The temptation is great on this set. Set of 5, $150, for wheels and tires,
tires are 90% remaining tread, doubt the spare has ever touched pavement.
What are the numbers I should look for? Presuming there is a magic number
that fits.
Thanks,

This short answer is: no.
They will bolt up, but the offset will be wrong. You need spacers like
these:

Despite having done this myself, I agree that they're going to look strange.
Even 8 years ago, those W220 wheels were dirt cheap. Cheap
Negative, unless you can find a post specifically supporting that.

The simplest wheel upgrade for a 123 is 15 flat pancake wheels from
a 107 or 126. That opens up a lot more tire

Which makes me wonder what a fair price is for wheels. I was thinking of asking
$150 for my set (all 5) of 14 201 wheels. The tires are pretty much junk, 3
are okay 2 are bad.
Seem reasonable? I'm thinking to put them on Craig's maybe tomorrow.

Thats a great price for M1, around here its $8+ recently, big hike in the last
2-3 months, I was paying closer to $5 not long ago. Hopefully just a localized
spike. If not maybe I'll order 100 quarts and sell 'em out of the back of my

Wheels weigh about 20lb. What's aluminum scrap going for these days?
