Not sure, but it's a Benz, I would spend a little more and put on a nicer pair.
If you take a look on ebay there are some nice rims for Mercedes, or find a local dealer who will sell them. www.kijiji.com as well.
Just search on ebay for Mercedes rims. I had some links of sellers on ebay if I can find them I will post.

no need to apologize.
just know that MB uses 5x112 bolt pattern with centerbore of 66.5 for most cars. if you see them says anything else then the answer will be "no they won't fit"

UPDATE from VMR: We are currently working on a way around the large protruding Mercedes dust-cap. Once we have more info, we will let you know. Right now, with the maximum offset and hublength, it seems like the centercap would barely fit.

Dammit, hurry with these wheels already (that's right, I added this to avoid a complete thread-jack).

UPDATE: The wheels have officially been released in BMW fitments, so hopefully this means our project is moving along in the pipeline. Here are the first pics of the V715's (in gunmetal) mounted on an actual car, and I must say I'm damn impressed.

Hi guys, i was wondering if someone with experiance could help me out?
I got these rear wheels, 19x9.5 with 275/30/19 on my c320 sedan.
Fenders have been rolled back a bit so when i drive with no bumps/ no one in the back seats i experiance no rubbing, however when i hit bump or turn a certain way it will rubb a bit. My car is lowered and its a pretty tight fit, im talking barley touching... so my question is, whats the best alternative instead of buying 2 new tires which will be about 700.00?
If i un-lower my car by say 1 inch 1/2 or so will that help?

looks good on the M3.
sad part is on the E46 M3 they are probably running ET30 on the front and ET25 for the rear with those sizes (8.5 and 9.5 or 10) and the Bimmer has a raised hub instead of our more flat hub on the front which gives them heck of a lot more clearance for the calipers. If they don't change the design (most likely they won't) it will not fit the W203.
But with that offset if it does fit the caliper because of the design of the center where the cap is the hub on the MB will stick out. I don't see how they can solve that without making a new mold for the rim which is highly unlikely. If they do add offset to it it will only mean the wheel will stick out past the fender.
