@babtainy Yes they would! And they'd look sooo good on one of those. For those cars, you want an offset of ET25 or less and they like a tire that's 245 wide or less, so these will bolt right on.Hi there.. would it fi the C126 560SEC 1990?Welcome everyone to this cool wheel auction I’m hosting! Like most users here, we have wheel issues. In this instance, we hunted down this set from a local collector for a car that was purchased, but we sold it before we could really use them as they got stuffed on a back shelf. We figured it would be of better use to auction them off for another enthusiast to put to better use. To whoever wins them, I’d love to see a picture of them mounted on your car. These came off of a Euro 380SL for reference. Please feel free to ask any questions! Thanks and good luck!$50 bid placed by @KiloOscar
