Can somebody please help? :(

I am looking at wheels for my 2001 SL320 on ebay (cough, cough) and there are lots to choose from, but which ones fit my car. I read a topic on there that mentions things called offsets and pcds. This is all gobbledegook to me :confused:

Does anybody know what these are and what relates to my car?

Your help would be very much appreciated.

You can't go wrong with original AMG wheels. Your 2001 should have split rims on as standard fitment - these are pretty much better than anything out there that's aftermarket.

They are AMG split rim replicas and not the original wheels if are the ones that are on your car?

Unless yours is a very early '01 car it should have these 3 piece BBS wheels unless AMGs were specified:

How many of those 48K miles have been spent riding the curb? You don't park in Paris do you? ;)

Don't get me wrong guys, these are the wheels that I was thinking of getting and having refurbished. Mine are okay and they are the 5 hole ones that came as standard.

Stats, I forgot to add by the way, that your wheels look fantastic.

Now, where did you say that you park? ;)
