TO: OUR MERCEDES-BENZ PASSENGER CAR DEALERS

DATE: February 1987 REF.NO. 40/71

SUBJECT: MODIFIED LIGHT ALLOY RIM 6JX15 H2 ET 49 MODEL 201

FIGURE 1:

The ribs on the inside of the light alloy rim, size 6Jx15 H2 ET 49, have been modified. This modification was made so that these rims could be used on models 201.028/.029/.128 which are equipped with wider, ventilated brake discs on the front axle.

Inventories of the previous light alloy rim can be used up on the other 201 models (except 201.028/ .029/.128). Upon depletion of available stock, only the modified version light alloy rim will be available.

Note: Mounting 14" winter tires (175/70 R 14) on 5Jx14 B2 ET 50 wheels is not permitted on models 201/.028/.029/.128.
