[W126 Coupe] Pic of my wheels

[Sharan Bains]

Sorry, but those wheels in the pics that were put up showing your car, were 
3-piece wheels, made by OZ Racing for AMG.

There is a centre piece, outer rim and inner rim. I have refurbished sets of 
these wheels and below is a link to pics of the wheels in....3 pieces :

If you remove the tyre, you will see the join between the outer and inner 
rim.

You can remove the centre piece without seperating the outer and inner rims 
- which is probably what your shop has done and they call it two piece as 
they have not bothered to seperate the inner and outer rim. They really 
should be seperating theose two pieces and renewing the rubber seal that 
sits between them.

Moreover, OZ Racing never made a 2-piece wheel for AMG to fit the R129 or 
W126 - only 3-piece wheels.
