Nice.....sooo much effort and risk buying off german ebay though. And are they worth giving up the Heilos for??!! Think these are my fav wheels I have seen for ages though. I love BBS but I dont know if they are too over done??

they probably wern't available in the UK mate and they might not be in production any more. Ebay might be your only option unless you can find a merc scrap yard, if you do let me know :) I'm after a set of 17" for the wifes motor :)

I've got a set of s class merc rims that were only availble in europe and USA i was lucky enough to spot them :)

It would be easy to find out what those wheels are, ask the OP who owns the car WFSU has its own forum just ask on there.  :smiley:
