w116 better as original or modified

[John Hubertz]

I love those wheels-anyone know the type/dimension?

What about cars like that turbo-charged 6.9 that's on YouTube?  I can't think of a better 6.9 modification than putting a bigger iron fist inside the velvet glove.

Those wheels are nice - not sure about the make though, just a random picture.

I think it's hard to do anything to a classic shape, like the W116, because it just ends up looking like another, beat up old Benz that someone has tried to "pimp", of which there are so many around. I don't like the over-done wood at all. Unless the wood is of supreme quality, which, unless those images aren't good representations, they appear not to be, it just looks like too much. This one below, looks good, even though it's not in great condition.




Anything engine-wise is absolutely fine though. If someone is mad enough to turbocharge, or supercharge a 6.9, full credit to them!
