Which model wheel type?

[tom7035]

I acquired a set of these on eBay some months ago and would like to try to source another for the spare. Can anyone identify which model they came from? Note the contoured rims - no lip. They are 7J's if it helps.
Many thanks.

Just had a look at all the options on the Polish eBay (allegro) and didnt see anything. It's strange - lots of alloys SIMILAR, but they only had 5 holes at the edge, not six, like yours. The ones I saw were on an E220, if that helps.

What size are they? 15"? Im wondering if they're aftermarket, like AMG

Yes, 15's. Plenty around with five spokes AND a lip. Haven't seen another yet with these contoured rims. The seller said they were off a previous MB he owned. He appeared to be a bit of an enthusiast as he was restoring a couple of old classics in his workshop when I picked them up. At £200 with all four 'V' rated Conti Eco-Contacs with treads in excess of 6 mm I wasn't too fussy about their origins at the time!

They look the same as these:

Maybe you should ask him if he'll sell one

Not the same - these have a lip around the rim, mine doesn't.

Can anyone else help please?
Many thanks.

Tom,

Have you checked out the aftermarket suppliers that provide similar to MB genuine wheels ?. A trip to one of the fancy wheel emporiums might yield results. The lack of a lip suggests non-MB.

May well be the case Clive otherwise I'm sure the experts on here would have ID'd them in a flash. However I can put up with a steel spare as I'm the only driver, so no chance of a wheelstud error should an emergency occur.
Thanks both for your responses.

They remind me of the ones I bought from Euro Car Parts back in 1990.

If you would like some 6" wheel bolts please ask

A BIG dump-truck from which if you jumped from a wheel you'd break at least your ankles on landing!

Malcolm, are these the long MB wheel bolts with the bearing shoulder 2/3 way down the length and the hexagon end at the top end of the bolt?
