Amgm125 2nd Gear January 8, 2015 Share January 8, 2015 Greetings bros/sis, I've just took over a relative's W140 S320 benz in JB and the ride is 100% stock. 16X6 stock merc rims riding on hard to find 235/60R16 tyres. I'm looking for those old sch Merc rims like the ones seen on C36AMG,E36AMG or early W210 E55AMG. I've been to many tyre/rim shops like LS, AL tyres and they only have latest merc stock rims. Seems those AMG rims that I'm looking for are too 'old school'. Anyone have any idea where to source for it? Any input will be greatly appreciated. Cheers amgm125 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberttan 5th Gear January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 Will give it a try. Hopefully got some old sch AMG rims. only issue is beware of replica wheel all over the place (if are hunting for Original AMG) also thing is if I can remember correctly that shouldn't have any Original AMG wheel for your W140. even you could find 1 real (original)AMG I am also worry about the your car weight especially heavily load.

Don't worry lah. The W140 is a heavyweight for its day but compared to today's heavyweight cars, is nothing special. As long as correct PCD and offset, no need worry. As long as not buying those made in china fake rims lah. Love the W140!

I don't think I ever saw one in my life. its the turbo version right? Yup many replicas out in the market. Ideal size should be 17inch so with profile 50 Tyres it should give a good mix of looks and retain the ride quality. Yah W124 E36 AMG does exists, but it's extremely rare and it's equipped with a NA 3.6 litre inline 6 with around 276bhp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
