When I bought my car from dr Dharmawan the rim was already using 14 inch Intra wheel which is commonly used in W123.I really like the comfort ride of Intra an the classic design of it.
But when I saw a good friend of mine Handaru's car, I was having love at first sight with AMG Penta rims. The design was so captivating that I told myself that I will have it someday and install it in Tigor a nickname for my Mercedes-Benz W123 280E.
I was so lucky when an old friend of mine told me that his family planning to sell it, and to my surprise it's a 16 inch AMG Penta which is a rare version of it. Not a second thought, I immediately seal the deal. The condition was immaculate, I had it checked and restored to make it look smart.
Last week I had the chance to bought the tires, based on some research the ideal tire size is 225/45/16, apparently it's quite difficult to find it, so I ended up by buying 225/50/16 from Multistrada.After balancing and wheel alignment process done, I tested it by taking toll road and it was smooth sailing experience I had. The stability is better than Intra and total appearance of my car significantly changed!
Alhamdulillah for this blessing :)

Where did you hear that the ideal tire size is 225/45-16? I have only heard 225/50-16 on 8J from AMG and 245/50-16 on 9J
