Fake benz wheels?

Are the wheels below legit? i was hearing that a guy got them off ebay for around 300 bucks and ended up selling them for over 1000. I ask because i know the guy that bought them and i've never seen these wheels on a benz before... thanks for any help...

15et in front 10et in back.. 18x8.5

Doubt very much if they are legit MB wheels unless they were not made for the US or European markets which I also doubt. Have never seen anything like them before and quite frankly I do not think the are attractive at all.

I don't think VW Golf shares a bolt pattern with Mercedes.

the vw golf 5 shares the same bolt pattern as MB.
the golf 4 had a 5x100 pattern.
many aftermarket wheels are offered in multiple pcd's which include 5x100/5x112

the wheels are definitely fake though
