From Intra to AMG Penta


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
