I would think it's not a Mercedes-Benz product; it certainly has MB centercaps, but definitely not a MB wheel I've seen before. I have to go aftermarket on this one. Anyone else?

The owner (a little old lady who bought her S new) told me they were factory and on the car when she bought it new.

They also use the same factory two piece bolt type as all factory Mercedes wheels.

Also, from what I could gather from looking at the wheels, they appear to be 8in fronts and 9in rears, or 8.5 and 9.5.

I'd have to agree- a bit busy. But, factory indeed. Wow.
