stock steel rimss
« on: September 03, 2006, 13:48:22 »
where can the stock wheels be purchased if a bent rim would need to be replaced? They don't look to be anything out of the normal. What would the average cost for a new rim?

Hello!

Quick answer: only used or NOS.
All original contemporary rims of any Pagoda are NLA.
Used: internet, junk yards, parts dealers, fellow owners.

Correct rims depends on the model and its VIN.
I know of 5 different steel rims for the W113; 5.5 J x 14 and 6 J x 14.

Hello rmmchl,

(By the way, what's your correct name??)...
Yes, that's correct. You should go for the identical sized alloy wheels.
However, 15 inch bund cakes will work too.

Good luck!

Did 113s come with alloy wheels stock from the factory or did they all have the steel / hubcap combination?  I don't recall seeing an option code that referred to alloy wheels on the 113.
