I am sure someone will be asking the offset .
Very Important
W204 uses
ET47 Front
ET58 Rear
I believe you will get more answers if you include
offset from wheels you are considering.

A lot of time wheel companies don't release offsets, try and see if you can go try to see if they fit first before you buy them.
Or yeah what JimPap said: they're trying to screw you.

Just to be sure, you know the offset should be stamped on the inner face of the wheel...following the letters ET? Someone should just look at them closely and read the numbers.

If the person that was selling you the wheels at that great price works for some type of shop IE wheel place or a performance shop. STAY AWAY FROM THEM he has no clue on what they are doing, if he was thinking that the 335I was the same bolt pattern as a Mercedes.

1. Not all forged wheel companies release offsets. This is actually quite common as they are trying to prevent others from reselling the wheels. They're custom forged for a specific make/model so fitment should be guaranteed only for that make/model. Nothing shady about that.
2. Never buy wheels without at least knowing what platform those wheels were forged for. That way, even though you might not know the exact offsets, you can figure out what range you're in and if that works for you. As 204s have super high offsets, you'd be hard pressed to find ANY crossover wheels that would fit.
3. Spacers serve to push the wheel OUT, not in. As our offsets are already super high, you don't want to push the wheel out any more. Spacers can help any other model accept our wheels as our wheels will sit fairly inward of the wheel arch.
4. BMW and MB have entirely different bolt patterns. It's not one size fits all.
5. Please do some research and figure out how the pieces of your car fits together in advanced.

For example if four rims offset ET47, will they fit into the car? What happen if also all 4 rims offset ET58?
