Monoblocks

Maybe Monoblocks are kinda " standard" looking...or regular....but damn they look good when in good condition and with the polished lip!

 

[kwontumspeed]

IIRC, the cost was near obscene levels (>$4k/set?). Although I would absolutely love a set, most likely I couldn't afford 'em. I believe these are very lightweight as well, near Monolite levels?

With a stronger USD I wonder if the price is better? I'd be up for it if they were closer to $3K.

 

[jeff0093]

9s are ET 26 and the 9.5 are ET 28 I can't find the weight right now but I think they were 20 or 21 lbs. seemed very light to me for a full forged wide 18. BTW I almost sold them a couple weeks ago but the deal fell apart, I think I'm keeping them now.

 

[Glen]

Looks like I was wrong, according to this, (http://www.execstudio.com/products_wheels_neez.htm) they are as light as 18.7 pounds. Very nice.
Jeff, do you know what current pricing is?

 

[maw1124]

Wow those are even pretty rare in 18" version for the W211. I'm pretty sure they only came on 63's with the P30 performance package. With a 221 part number I am assuming those 19's were also rare option for S65's and maybe 63's??? Baller...

I actually think they were 65 series only, and yes they were obscene. Even the ones that came on mine were obscene. So you don't see many sets around. Plenty of 18's, but the forged 2-piece 19's, nah. Near as I could tell, I could piece together a full set of AMG VI 2-pieces for about $4k excluding tires. But then I found out some idiot had tried to paint my AMG IV's (likely the selling dealer), and I had them spiffed up and taken care of for under $500. That ended all thoughts of the AMG VI's. No ball-out-til-you-fall-out over here...

maw

 

[jeff0093]

I tried to get a hold of them a couple weeks ago and no emails were returned. I can try again, the dollar is strong right now.

Yes, this is the picture that I was misplaced. These were sold to another 500E owner, Kyle aka ShelovedE from the old 500Ecstasy site. Kyle ran these with not issues, but later sold his car.

Karl,

I have always liked these wheels and have seen them on one other 500E. They were actually made for W140's correct??? Assuming that is the case are you running spacers on them and if so do you mind letting me know what size they are? Same story with the tire size you ran with them as they look perfect. Just in case I ever need to know... ;-)

Yes kinda rare wheels for the W140, I think they where bolt on 20 or 25mm spacers, here are a few more shots for you.....

Non-standard wheels. Some previous owner put those chrome things on whatever they are. I finally switched out to the Evos this year. Even my wife likes them better.

Oy, that was the right thing to do! The wife is right

And I love the Spruce, with and without contrast color, but just a little more with, like yours.

Smart move! Those appear to be late W140 or early W220 wheels... if so, they were probably only 7.5" wide... not meant for M12 lug bolts either.

The Evos look GREAT!

I recall those wheels of yours from a long time ago. I thought then and still do that they fit a E500E rather nice.

Can someone tell me more about my rims? I know that they are AMGs and they are 18". I believe they might be different widths as the front tires are 245 and the rears are 275. Was wondering when they were made and what car(s) they would have came on? Thanks

 

[sheward]

I believe those are 129 SL wheels. They are possibly 8.5 wide in front and 9.5 in rear. I don't know if they were one of the standard wheels or optional. I'm assuming there are no spacers mounted.

I believe those were offered as part of the Sport package on the very late R129 (circa 1999-2002). If so, they should be 8.5 ET25 front, 9.5 ET28 rear, basically perfect for the E500E. If you remove the wheels there will be size/offset and part numbers stamped on the back side. Pretty sure you'll find they are 129-401-17-02 and 129-401-18-02. These are relatively hard to locate, which is a good thing or I'd probably have a set stuffed in a corner of my shop somewhere...

These tend towards the flashy end of the spectrum .....
Now the super-slammed and stanced look is not my cup of tea. However, I found these wheels on the intrawebz on a not-500E-specific-w124-site some time ago and I must admit I am very intrigued by this 3-pc take on the regular MB 8-hole wheel.

I may have read somewhere that these are rotiform wheels, but a search of their website yields no matches --- http://www.rotiform.com
Does anyone know more about these?

 

[ZombieBranz]

Thanks for the answers. That helps me a lot...I'll confirm when I pull them off to check numbers and see if there are spacers. I agree on the fit for a E500E...they fit really nice in the wheelwell....drive nice and give lots of tire area on the pavement.

The stance/slammed crowd have been known to marry different wheel parts. Rial makes a very similar one piece design wheel (M8000) in 8.5 width. Gerry had a set way back. The holy grail wheel for me would be the same thing in a 8.5 / 9.5 fitment.

As mentioned in other posts these are R129 wheels if spacers are not used. Fronts are 8.5x18 et25 and rears are 9.5x18 et23. I know because I have them myself.
I'm running 10mm hub centric spacers in front to fill the wheel wells better.
