Typically I prefer to post discovered examples for sale that are in better condition and/or lower miles. But as I scrolled through the pics, the wheels on this car jumped out at me. They look like either original Momo 5 star or perhaps even Fittipaldi rims. Take a look at this 1987 Mercedes 190 2.3-16 on eBayMotors:
quote from seller’s eBayMotors listing:
Please take a good look at the pictures, and then make a bid on this very special and rare car that is fun to drive and a pleasure to own. The amazing leather interior, front and rear bucket seats, 5 speed (dog leg) racing gearbox, stunning factory original ground effects kit. These cars don’t come up for sale very often so don’t miss this one.
As a young man in high school many moons ago, these were the rims to get. Can you help identify them?

Check out some of these. Not affiliated blah, blah, blah.
Yes they are Momo’s. I will get you better pics and more info because I just bought the car off ebay. Wanted to say I love your site. Because of the rarity of the MB 2.3 16v in America I thought it was a car with more charachter than a plane jane BMW 2002 (no offense to BMW 2002 owners).
Thanks for your comment! I always love hearing about new owners that buy as a result of finds on my site! I’d really appreciate the update and new pics, and would like to make a post specifically about your buy.
Congratulations!
