[W126 Coupe] 126 Wheels

[Jonathan Hodgman]

Well, my def of light would be my old BBS RS GT's that I sold..18 X 8.5 
@ 18.X lbs each.  That's a Light wheel.  That was the only 18 I've had 
on a 126 that felt Good.

Just for comparisons sake, when I changed Jack Middlebrooks old car from 
18 to 17' Aeros, I weighed one of the front 18 X 8's against the 17 X 
8.5.  18 was 54 lbs IIRC w/ rubber, the 17 was 42 lbs.  That makes a 
REAL difference in how your suspension works, how your car accelerates 
and how it stops.
