This is a similar looking OEM wheel that came on the W210 which might have led you to think those are OEM:

Looks like the Mille Miglia "Bello" wheel. The E430 Sport wheel is very similar to that, maybe it is one those instead. What size is it?

It is 17x8, s/b a MBZ wheel, it has a center cap on it. How do i find out what it is? I have a set that i want to use for my C230, how do you guys think it is going to work out? If not, i will just sell it for cheap later on. Offset is 36mm

It is a MBZ wheel, I guess it is standard equipment on 2000+ E430 like what the other poster said.

Found some pictures on the car
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6335

Now I know what it is, I just need to find out if these rims came staggered? (fronts 17x7 and rear 17x8?) I have 2 17x8. I dont know if i should pursuit 2 more or if i should just sell it for cheap and get wheels that will probably fit the C class better

Those are not the same wheels. If it is an OEM will, it will have a part number on back (either Axxx xxx xx xx or B6 6 03 xxxx or B6 6 47 xxxx or something similar).

I won't go as far as saying it is definitely not OEM because Mercedes makes a WHOLE BUNCH of weird wheels that people many people have never seen before, and that have really weird names like "Albireo" and "Eridanus" (I like the Eridanus...).

p.s. the 7-spoke that come on the old C-coupe C7 package are actually called "Alshain", and the new ones on the C-sport sedan are called "Adharaz".

That wheel is different to the one pictured in the original post, if your look closely the holes are larger and rounder on the the first pic. Checking my MB wheel catelog, the one posted by tmak26b is called "Mekab" and the one I'd posted is a "Merak", both very similar, except for a different lip design.

"Eridanus" - did you make that name up scorchie? There's certainly a lot of weird and wonderful wheels in that catalog that I've never seen on any Benz, and yes with names I cannot even pronounce......I've found the others mentioned but can't find "Eridanus", lol
