[W126 Coupe] Increased Wheel (Rim) Diameters

[Jay Febish]

Not sure yet. I bought them about five years ago, used, from a guy in  
Canada. I paid $1,000 plus about $150 for shipping, $50 for duty fees.  
Then the tires from TireRack were around $400 plus $100 for mounting  
and balancing. The tires still have around 50% left. I was thinking  
around $1200. But I really have no idea what the going price is these  
days. Maybe take them to the ebay seller store.
