A set of rims for Merc stamped on the inside is, 8JX16 H2 e11. Ronal stamped on spoke. ?No AMG on the wheels.
I did get the wrong ones before....
I have read that these would do, but in light of getting it wrong before I ask, would these rims do for a W126??.
What Price for a set, provided they are in good condition?

AUD $300 is a good buy then?. They Appear to have minimal rash. I will post Pics when I can.
They Are painted.. I don't feel that the White Spokes/centers would look good on a silver car. ?? Strip

AA, I have been reading that thread, part of what motivated me looking into these rims. I think that I will be spending a considerable time in the garage with the wheels. Any other tips on refurb process??. These rims are slightly different from yours, the center is not as raised as yours. What size rubber did you wrap those beauties in?.

Glad your trip was good. Is that one of your "FlyGirlz"?.
I will be getting stuck into them on Thursday. I am not sure how I will finish them yet, I am hoping that what's under the paint is pristine, then I will probably just clear them.
Heres a couple of pics.

Silver or Black?, That is the Question!.

There is still work to be done!. Life in all its glory had sidelined these rims for a while, but... I do need to finish this.
Silver or black? Which color would look best on this silver SEL?

2 votes silver & 2 black here @ home. Wife likes the silver, I was thinking black to compensate for brake dust. I thought the silver on a silver car would be too much silver. My eldest (17), says "really mix it up", black in front, silver in the back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, Silver won. I'm still unsure about the chrome arches though. I understand the reasons to remove them but.........there is something about them that pleads to stay on...
