Sounds good, just not sure 18'' fit under?? But if they are cheap and he has horded them, bring on the bargain biggrin

well i used to see a few 124 coupes with 18's on back in the day so think they will go on its more a case of will he part with them haha
and i bet the tyres on them are not great tbh
i will speak to him later on but he can be hard work at getting a decision out of him lol surprised he mentioned them last night tbh


p.s they do look nice with a proper set of wheels especially if its blue black and has been fully colour coded. a proper merc

that car so much potential for subtle modernisation modifications and i think it would awsome with oem parts fitted. it also also maybe worth thinking about going down the sleeper route keep it looking completely std but change out all the engine and brakes for better items smile
