Original set of rims for a W107 500SL 1986

Anyone out there got a spare set of rims in good condition ? Mexican hat or he flat alloys ?

I have a set of Lorinser alloys which are heavily pitted and it seems like a good tome to restore to the original rims.

They are called 15 hole alloys.

I've got a set of 4 x 15 hole forged (not cast) alloys from a 190E 2.5-16.

They are 15" x 7J with an of ET 44.

15-hole R107 rims need a 25 offset, Neil. Same rims as fitted to the W126 series.
