Thanks Jake! With your rounded arches, I dare say they'll look better than with my squares. Post some pics when you get them on. Wheels are tough on W124s, especially wagons. They respond better to chunky styling IMHO, but it's hard to find a modern-looking chunky wheel. I think these E430 wheels offer a nice balance and just work.

Thank you Gentlemen. Understated, "sleeper" mods fit the wagons beautifully. I can't wait to get a new front bumper (need to find one) and paint all the lower body cladding same as the main body color. Then it'll start to really look sharp I think. Definitely fun cars. I can see why the fellow above went nuts with his. If you are married to the shape and quality, dropping $10K into a $3K car might give you something close to the equivalent of a modern E350. It would last longer too.
New:
C36 motor
Complete leather interior
Paint
Suspension
Of course you'd have to do some of the work yourself to achieve that price/goal.
