MrGreedy Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Hi there, I'm crossing my fingers that this is the correct forum to publish this on. However, I am overjoyed to have just acquired an R129. Putting on a set of AMG BBS staggered alloys is something I'm really looking forward to. The Two Piece AMG wheels, I think you might say? Sure, I've perused all the copies on eBay, but I was hoping someone would have a set they're selling or at least suggest a good place to hunt. A long shot, I know, but nobody gets fed if they don't speak! In advance, I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberNinja Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago The actual name is "AMG I" 18" 2-piece, in case it makes a difference. The creator, BBS, nevertheless, is frequently brought up. In the front, you'll find the following dimensions: 18x8.5 ET 25, 245/40. Setbacks: 18x10 ET 25, 275/35 My wheels came from AlloyWheelsDirect, however you might try searching on eBay.de or another German site. They may be able to recommend someone who does, but they don't currently have any listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberNinja Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Some single-piece copies are available; they are virtually identical (with faux "bolts" around the rim) and cost a tenth of what the real thing used to cost. By the way, I was able to acquire an authentic R129 AMG accessories rear box through eBay.de — they are exceptionally uncommon because they were incredibly pricey when they were first released. Standard equipment with simple steel tailpipes facing downwards was even installed on the SL60 AMG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberNinja Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Many respectable businesses are willing to do that... I don't have personal experience with them, but I think Lepsons have been brought up before: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulinelinker Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago These wheels are indeed the original three-piece AMG wheels. He only keeps them in his garage with his R129 91' SL500; he has no plans to restore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
