1987 300TDT Wheels - 15" AMG vs 16" CLK?
Ive got both sets: 15" AMG wheels from a 1997 c230 Sport I think it is, and 16" CLK Wheels. Which ones should I get tires for and put on?

Here is my wagon with the AMG wheels, which have worn 205/60/15s. They should be 65s.

Here is another 124 wagon with them:

And here is a post of them on misc Benzs:

Keep looking. I really like the 16" 8 holes on these cars.

Interesting perspectives! I do not like the 8 hole wheels. SOOO common and boring. The AMGs would be good if they were 16" or 17". I am digging the CLKs myself so I think I am gonna put some good rubber on them.

I need to take a pic of my 87. The 8 holes and two tone turn signals look perfect on the car.
