They are quite similar actually. As I recall the 122 came with sports package equipped 525's, at least in the US. the non-SP cars got the 138's. Haven't noticed the numbers but maybe most folks who got the 525 chose to not get the SP...

138's tapered to more of a point at the center of the wheel. See the Information section of the forum for pictures if needed.
