[W126 Coupe] Aero II Monoblocks, where to find them?

[Sam Sisic]

Horacio,
A few years ago I got the Aero II Monoblocks from The Tire Rack. I see they don't offer those on their website for the 560 anymore.
However, you may want to contact Luke, I believe extension #362, at The Tire Rack. He is very familiar with this fitment as he helped many members on the list, myself inclusive. He often has access to more information within their operation than what is offered on the website.
I also have a set of two rear 18" X 9" Aero II's with 275/35/18 Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position tires on them in almost new condition. They are for sale if you are interested.
I'm running some different wheels on mine now.
If Luke or someone can hook you up with the two front 18"X8" with 245/40/18 rubber on them, you're set.
You may contact me off list if you are interested.
Good luck,
Sam

Hello,

  I am new to this forum and am in the process of acquiring a '91 560SEC. In the meanwhile I have been searching for larger rims - the car I want to purchase comes with stock rims - such as the AMG Aero II Monoblocks or the ones that Satish Tummala has on his car.

  Unfortunately, even though many MBCoupes' members have that type of rims, the stores I contacted, in this case TireRack, said "Thanks for your question to The Tire Rack.  Unfortunately, the Aero II wheel is not available in the correct offset to fit your vehicle.  I apologize for the inconvenience".

  Can anyone provide me with the name of a retailer who stocks the rims that I am looking for?

  Kind regards,
