Looking for the 8-hole R129/W140 rims, hopefully with tires. They don't have to be perfect, just decent. I'm putting a 92 500SL back together and the awful chrome 18s that are on it need tire so I've advised the customer not to spend that money on tires, but instead on the correct wheels. I'm in central VA, if close, I'll pick them up. If not, I'll pay for shipping. Need these ASAP, and willing to pay.

check vwvortex.com as well.

The w140 and R129 wheels are different btw, the offsets are wrong.

I do know of (3) 500E chrome 8 hole wheels if you want. The 500E 16x8 are forged, Im not sure about the R129 ones. The 500E ones have a 124 part number.

I have some R129 SL500/600 silver arrow wheels for sale, with almost new tires. They would look great on an SL. I had them on my 500E, but recently I got some AMG wheels. Email me, Id really sell either set, but I cant keep both.

also, doesn't the w140 use 14mm lugs?

I cant remember, but the biggest problem is an offset of like ET44 or something like that.

The R129 and 500E wheels are like et 34.

People put 14mm bolt hole wheels on 12mm hubs all the time, with special wheel botls that have a 14mm ball radius, with a 12mm shank, but that is aside. They can be bought from Rad -usa bolts in california.

W140 = 16x7.5 ET51

R129 = 16x8 ET34

I have a set of 15 Hole 16x8 ET 34 from a '90 300sl with almost new Pirellis and Lugbolts, if you are interested please send an email to haraldz@apex-epl.com

I didn't know the 129 and 140 wheels weren't the same. Mercedes WOULD pull something like that. lol! Omegabenz...where you at? HZack, thanks. I sent you an email.

I have a clean set off of my old 92 600SL with new sumitomo 225/50/16s $450.00 NJ....
