6,5x14 Rims on Euro Pagoda?
« on: February 23, 2015, 08:26:06 »
Hey guys,

Was reading the tech section on the site and I can see that the Pagoda never came with 6,5" rims.
Mine is an early Euro 67 year 250SL. Could it be that the Euro model came differently?

I have 3 rims 6.5 on my car, one rim 6 and the spare came with round holes (not Pagoda for sure) all over the inside.

Thanks

No, not from what I have read.  Are they steel rims?  They should have a Mercedes part number stamped on them near the hub.

My guess is that's the rim for a W109 6.3.   I do not believe it was ever original to a Pagoda.  FWIW the date code on the wheel is September 1968, after the production of your car.

Your sent or deleted PM probably needs to be cleaned up.
