Has anybody ever seen these wheels on a mercedes or on any other car. Would love to see some pics cause I cant decide if I need these wheels. Love the original hubcaps but in my head these would look very good. Enough with the talk here's a pic of the wheels I mean:  And then the important question: Are these gonna fit my w123, which will be lowered a lot ;D Size: 5.5 x 15 PCD: 5-112 Offset: ET20 |

I'm sorry, but it think they'll look like cheap torque thrust copies, and a 5.5 wide 15" will look terrible on anything that new.
A 123 would look awesome with real torque thrusts though, or anything with dish, as they do have a bit to fill up at the rear, especially lowered ;D
Post some pics and i'll give it a go in photoshop.

there was a black w123T owned at one time by someone at T3D that had a polished set of these on.
it looked ok, nothing revolutionary, but did the job of being 'scene'. personally ive always hated them cos they're obviously designed to be drilled to 5x205 with the lugs on the centre section, so just look stupid drilled to smaller PCDs

mark with the pichoarder skiilz  thats exactly the one i meant. BRMs do look better though. no offence, but i always thought theyd look better in the classic /black/highlights combo on your car, but then ive never been a fan of the chrome ones. |
