W124 build - test fit with BBS RS - tire question

[HWY HNTR]

I always thought the w124 was too big of a car to pull off 16's, i'd also like to see a full car shot to see how they look.

ya it looks good, but I dunno, still thinkin 16's are just too small for the W124

Yeah 17's would like better and fill the wheel well a lot better... I got these 16's for dirt cheap and I couldn't pass em up! Thanks for the comments fellas

16's are a little to small IMO, nothing a little strch and poke wont fix !!
