Alloy wheels.

[John Tinsley]

A couple of years ago I bought a set of alloy wheels that I thought would fit my car but they didn't. They were listed as "Mercedes 18" alloy wheels". I want to move these on, but would like to identify them properly so I don't mislead anyone. I know there are some savvy wheel guys on here and any help would be appreciated. The tyre size is 245/45 100w XL (extra load) and the info on the back of the wheel is here;
Cheers.

Have they got Mercedes stamps elsewhere inside the wheel ?

Photos of the whole wheel?
Any other makings/ part numbers on the reverse?

Looks a bit faint - is that ET44?

There are usually more part numbers on the other “spokes” that may help identify them.

I’m thinking they aren’t MB ones

Strangely enough, there isn't any figure for the ET. The guy I bought them from didn't know what they came off, I suspect a Vito.
Here are more pic's;

Many thanks for the replies gentlemen. I'll try to measure the offset tomorrow.

The fronts on my 212 E350CDI are 245/40R18-97Y.
A 100XL load rating that s going to heavy, so I would agree some sort of van.

Look like W218 copies

Hi, the offset is 44. I can only find the S class with 44 offset, although I don't think a couple of mm is critical with that.
Cheers

@John Tinsley - the ET looks like 44 stamped onto the pad next to “ET” but stamped at 90degrees. May have been powder coated/painted after so it’s flowed in and slightly obscured it.

Think it’s a copy, and there is a flat on the rim where an ‘AMG’ decal is stuck on as opposed to it being cast into the wheel on genuine ones.

That doesn’t mean that it isn’t good quality. It may be a very well made copy.
