I've been been looking for a unique and nice looking set of wheels for the R500. I like the wheels in this picture but I have no idea what wheels these are, or even if they really exist. If anyone knows what wheels these are, or have seen some similar let me know. Thanks.

I havent seen these wheels in the plant but will admit I have seen all of them since I dont work on the final side of the plant(work on the trim side). I will try to find out monday though from someone on Final 3.

Just off the top off my head, but those look like very close to the wheels that were on the original concept version of the R class the Vision RST.

Although MB has a few similar wheels, those on the G550 and some of the preview pictures of the GLK had similar wheels.

Yes I'd agree the Vision GST concept had these or similar wheels.

If you search e-bay there's a strange wheel for sale

(Search Item # 230308346480 ) that is apparently for R-class - and the only one I've seen that has a similar cone shape.

I think the ones you want might be item # 400009868873
(I've only seen these once before).

Yeah, those are same wheels. Too bad they're concepts - I'll have to keep looking. Thanks.

Those 400009868873 wheels look similar to the concept wheels. They might actually be the scaled down production version. But those are in 19".

One other question... Do all GL and ML wheels fit the R also???

Wouldn't go as far as saying "all" as the 2009 ML63 and GL550 have 21'' wheels that require fender flares to get them to fit lol. There are 20'' accessory wheels listed in the brochure for the R class if your looking to go that big.
