Description
For sale is a set of used 3-piece BBS RS009 16″ wheels, a classic, timeless design highly sought after by Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts and collectors. This full set of wheels has been inspected, cleaned, and is ready to mount with the right tires. The RS009 is known for its beautiful mesh pattern, deep lip, and superior build quality thanks to BBS’s premium 3-piece construction. These wheels offer both performance and vintage style — perfect for W126 (S-Class), W116 (older S-Class), R107 (SL), and W123 chassis models.
These wheels are in good used condition, with light cosmetic marks consistent with normal use. There are no structural bends, cracks, or repairs. Each wheel maintains its shape, roundness, and integrity. Because they are three-piece wheels, they can be disassembled for service, refinishing, or rebuilds — a key advantage for maintaining and customizing appearance.
Performance & Reliability:
The BBS RS009 is a classic multi-piece wheel that blends strength with lightweight performance. The mesh design not only looks great but also supports rigidity under load and helps with brake cooling due to its open spoke geometry. These wheels are ideal for vintage Mercedes or restomod builds where period-correct aesthetics and performance matter.
Before listing, this wheel set was inspected for:
Structural integrity — no visible cracks or bends
Mounting surface — bolt pattern bores and lug holes clean and true
Finish quality — consistent surface tone with only light wear
Bolt-on readiness — hub bores and offsets ready for direct installation
Because they are three-piece wheels, the outer lips and inner barrels can be serviced separately. This means you can adjust lip depth, refin- ish outer rings, or replace hardware if desired.
These wheels are a great choice for anyone building a classic Mercedes with a clean and aggressive stance, without sacrificing strength or authenticity. They work well with modern tires sized for 16″ rims that provide both classic looks and modern rubber performance.
Fitment:
Fits in:
Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class
Mercedes-Benz W116 S-Class
Mercedes-Benz R107 SL
Mercedes-Benz W123 chassis cars
Other Euro cars with compatible bolt pattern and 16″ wheel fitment
The key specs to confirm prior to purchase are:
Bolt pattern (PCD)
Offset (ET)
Center bore
When these specs match your vehicle, these wheels are a direct-bolt fit, requiring no modification for installation. You may need hub centric rings if your car’s center bore differs slightly from the wheel’s bore — a common requirement for Euro cars.
Warranty & Installation:
This wheel set includes a 6-month limited structural warranty covering cracks or bent rims from normal use. Cosmetic wear, paint finish wear, or hardware corrosion are not covered under warranty.
Professional installation is recommended. When installing:
Use proper lug nuts/bolts and torque to manufacturer specs
Mount tires by a trained technician
Balance all wheels before driving
Check clearance with brakes and suspension components
Proper installation and balancing will ensure a smooth ride and help extend wheel and tire life.
If you’re looking for a standout wheel upgrade for your classic Mercedes — something with both heritage and performance appeal — these BBS RS009 3-piece 16″ wheels deliver timeless style, solid construction, and a classic European fitment. They are perfect for vintage Benz models including the W126, W116, R107, and W123 — whether for shows, daily driving, or a restomod build.
