@Why_Not Unfortunately most of my auctions end between 4 and 6am here in Japan so i am not able to answer last minute questions. Indeed, best practice is the ask questions a little bit before the endThanks, well someone got a nice set. My car has the 18 inch AMG 'sport' boat anchors. Pretty, but very heavy. The design / shape of the rim barrel is critical to some applications.@Why_Not Well in that case you would definitely have no issues clearing that with 17's. Kind of a moot point now though... better luck next time!Congrats. I'd have loved these too. I should have asked this question to the seller yesterday.Hello again, my paranoid mentality is concerned with the outside of the caliper, not the side of the caliper hitting the spokes.$1,300 bid placed by @patstar

@Why_Not I'd bet money they fit as is but, it's not my money lol. Based on the offsets, I'd recommend using spacers anyways to get a nice flush look. With a spacer they would 100% clear.Hi, Thanks for the note. It's not offset I'm concerned about, it is the ID of the wheel rim clearing the caliper bridge. Several of my Benzes have wheels which have unique features and 'just' clear the outside of caliper. Not all same diameter wheels will work, even from Benz. I'd bid if I knew they'd fit a late R129.@Why_Not From my experience with running different wheel setups on later R129's, these should clear the brakes without spacers. You could still run spacers if you wanted to though.$900 bid placed by @ProdigalPetrolHead
Hi again, 1999 and later R129s require 17 inch wheels to clear their front rotor / caliper setup. Do you know if these 17 inch diameter wheels have specific internal dimensions that will properly fit these models, with or without spacers ? Thanks.$800 bid placed by @patstar
@Liko No plans so far sorry@Why_Not 8.4 kilo apiece, yes also forged, aluminum PFS rings with spring retainer for eachHi, I have 3.5 questions: What is the wheels weight. Are the rim barrels also forged. What material are the spacer rings and are they a press fit or do they use a 'spring' retainer. Thankyou.$400 bid placed by @Classen
