Our son was driving the '90 300D 2.5 this evening, and decided that the radio required more attention than the road - he clipped the corner of a drive curb and ruined both Right side wheels and tires. This car has the later (when did they start?) 8 hole wheels - making it look newer than it is.

My snow tires are on those wheels - they are very close to the factory rims. If I can't get a couple of factory wheels, I go the Tire Rack route. I don't like the fact that they use different lug bolts though -- I like to keep such things standard. There were some Borbot after market 8 hole
