Question on OEM wheels

I have the OEM 16" alloy wheels which are standard on the Avantgarde. The Part number is A211 401 1502 or B6 647 4125. I have seen a set of OEM wheels being sold with part number A211 401 4502 or B6 647 4230.

They look identical on the photograph. Both are the 5 hole.

I have have spoken to someone from the parts department who says that they appear to be different parts with different prices. But he cannot tell the difference when he looks it up on the computer.

Anyone cares to shed some light on this?

Just picked up "Genuine Mercedes-Benz Accessories - Wheels" catalog at dealer.

Yes but not sure why.

I have done some more research and found out that the patterns on the two part numbers are similar but not identical. The part number ending with 30 has got wider spokes than the part number ending with 25. One could easily be fooled if part numbers are not looked at.

I did a Google search for B6 647 4230 and turned up this site. It looks Russian and the pictures for this wheel do not appear on my computer:
