My bet was 16. Everyone knows the 16" crashes better than the 15" variety.

Well, I for one am not happy about this. Relegating the beautiful design of the phone dial to crash test rig duty - for an MB no less.

Oh the horror...

On the other hand, nice catch Randy!

DR, not to change the subject (too much), what tire/rim sizes are you running on your 85 and what are your offsets? I have a similar 85 euro with 16" PD's and although I like the original look they really don't "hook" enough for me. Thanks
