Hey Karl, Love what you've done to the W114. Your dog dish wheels have a lot of promise. I've searched around and not seen any images of the new wheel set-up on your car. Have you completed it yet? Ever since seeing this thread, I've been watching craigslist and waiting to pounce on some lightweight CLK wheels. Thanks!

every first Wednesday of the month in clairemont mesa where the zion market is located. theres another w114 owner here in SD he has a red one static dropped.

Nice, what time is the meet ? Got any links to sites talking about it ?

I will try and make the next one.

The dog bowls you have look different to the dog bowls I've seen, yours look more flat and less pointed. I only ask because with the picture you used it looks like you cut them out of the old hubcaps.

I the wheel only photo that is just a stock dog bowl cap, I am not using the outside ring that is a separate piece.

The latest photo of what is on the car right now is a set of rare oem 14" light weight alloy rims with the stock hub caps on them.

I have not finished the 16", but the plan is to use some old school Mercedes oem dog bowl hub cap centers with them.

Lovely car! so clean. Love the idea of retro fitting dog bowls, Im thinking getting some 16s smoothies made up for my w115 and was ganna refit the dog bowls into them but looking at your dog bowls did you trim your oem hubcap down to make them or did you buy the original dog bowls?

OH nice! yeah JDM wheels like stich and the zaubers and starforms all looks simliar to the three piece amg monos. But wow even more jealous because 18s are even better than the 17s loving it dude!!!

Thx Man

You going to the So Ca Euro meet at the Qualcom ? I'm thinking of going but not sure what car to bring.

[SD202]

Thx on the 71 250C

Wheels on the 500E are not the 17" 3 piece AMG you often see. These wheels are old school light weight quality built JDM 18" 3 piece Stich wheels. I'm seen a few of these in 17" also, but they seem to be pretty rare in 18" like these are. Love to have a 2nd set
