These 15″ Penta wheels measure 7″ in width all around and were manufactured in Britain. While many people are familiar with the AMG Penta wheels primarily produced by ATS and Ronal, the original Penta design was introduced by a British company from the 1960's-80's. The faces are finished in silver with polished lips. The wheels show Penta stamps near the lug holes and dimensions, offsets, and other manufacturer casting marks are present on each wheel. These wheels should fit most Mercedes-Benz models between the 70’s and 80’s including W123’s, R107’s, W116’s, W126’s, and more. These Penta wheels are now offered by the seller at No Reserve in Los Angeles, California and shipping quotes are available from the seller upon request.
These Penta wheels have received a recent professional refinishing and feature silver painted centers with polished lips. Up close photos of each face are provided in the gallery and no major imperfections are noted.
Each wheel measures 7" wide with an offset of +25 with stamps between the lug holes around the center caps. Close up photos of the back of each wheel are viewable in the gallery and all four wheels feature a 5x112 bolt pattern.
Flat center caps showing the premerger AMG script are installed and included in the sale. Shipping is available at the buyer's expense.

I am sorry to say but the 5 spoke style weels used by AMG where an evolution of the Mercedes C111 prototype wheels. ATS manufactured first the wheels for AMG designed by Hans-Werner Aufrecht in 1979, this was the first aluminum alloy rim marketed by AMG, they also used in the tuning kits the Rial Mesh and BBS in their first official catalogue of 1980. Ronal also fabricated the 5 spoke design for AMG (model 7400037 and 7400100) these are different against the Ronal R9. Other brands as Ronal (model R9), Penta (model P1680 and P1690), Melber and BCW made similar wheels. You can compare the wheels used in the C111 (1969): Unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show VS the used in the red pig in Spa Francochamps 1971 race and everyting will make sense for you. I have dedicated time and verified the KBA registry of many wheels to figure the history behind.Hey guys, if you have any questions please let me know! These wheels have just been refurbished.
