What rim is this?

I like to upgrade my stock 04 non-sport rim to this one (see pic).
I know this rim is Mercedes OEM rim but I don't know how to search for it.
If you have a set with or without tires and interested to part away, please PM me. I live in Orange County, So. Cal.

How much do I expect to pay for a used set?
Thank you

This is the wheel called "Almach" by Mercedes.

It's 8J x 17 ET38, uses tire size 245/45-17

Part number B6 647 2159

Wheel catalog states: "Only in conjunction with sport suspension or AIRMATIC."

You can look up price new from this dealer (omit B)

I don't have sport suspension or AIRMATIC. I can't use it at all?

Yes, you can use it. Originally this rim came with the above mentioned equipped model. You should take your time and consider Sports 17in or 18in AMG if similar price in my opinion. Look through Classified Wheels for W211 or E320, E350, E500, E550, E55 or E63 fitments. Good luck.
