NOT Cosworth wheels

Despite the sellers claim these are NOT Cosworth wheels & were never factory fitted to any W201.

'Cosworth' wheels are 15x7 fitment and forged alloy, circa £300 each rim as opposed to £120 or similar for standard cast 15-holes.

Neil is correct, those are 124 wheels and as nice as they look aren't the correct fitment or tyre size (?) for any W201.

Cheapskate tyres too.

Event tyres are downright dangerous!

Part number is the definitive way, failing that a quick & usually accurate way is to look at the shape of the 15 holes. Cosworth wheels have oval holes.

[abecketts]

if the part number starts 124 that's a bit of a give away isn't it?
