[W126 Coupe] WHEEL SPACER

[Dick Spellman]

Clay:

While 3mm may have been okay, no way non centric 10 or 15 would be 
satisfactory.  H&R are the brand I used up until the recent change up to 
Lorrinser factory spec'd wheels for the 126 on the SEC.  That 450 5.0 
SLC is a keeper.  What kind of shape is it in???

Take care,

Dick
