Are R129 and W203 wheels interchangeable?
It appears the R129 and W203 have similar offset and width requirements for wheels. I found some really nice looking wheels online for the R129

The problem is I have a w203. However according to an MB fitment chart, the numbers work:
18X8.5-check.
30mm offset-check.
Ebay seller saying this will ONLY fit SL models from 1990-2002???? No check!
So, have any of you ran w203 wheels, and can verify the wheels are interchangeable between these models? Thanks.

they are all interchangeable. Buy with Confidence. the only thing is to check the length of the Bolts on the car. depending you may want shorter bolts or longer. JJ
