	'''Syncropaddy:''' 15" steel wheels from a '''Mercedes W124 Estate have a higher rating''' than those from a W124 Saloon.

	'''HarryMann:''' These rims are used a lot on Syncros. They are what's said to be 'soft', that is the rim edges bend or roll back fairly easily when encountering sharp edged rocks, due to being less thick than other steels e.g. T4/T5/Passat steels etc. They can however be knocked back out temporarily quite easily. They have to my knowledge not been found to fail catastrophically which would rule them out altogether, bending rather than breaking. However, as Russel says, they are not 'fully rated' for a vehicle of the weight of a T25, so moe regular inspections and maintenance is indicated, especially if they have been deformed and straightened at any time (I have found one cracking radially from the outside edge down the bead (inside).. so if you do use them, every time you take them off, clean and inspect them inside and out)		'''HarryMann:''' These rims are used a lot on Syncros.
