All 4 wheels 7.5?? unusual... in 17" they came as a staggered set with 8.5 rears

You need to find out what the et is, it is cast into the back of the wheels..

will look like this "example" 7.5J x 17H2 ET35

Also on the back of the wheel is the part number, the first 3 digits are the chassis type.

The most common AMG Mono II 17" wheels are W202 wheels (C32, C36, C43).

The offsets on the C32 wheels are fronts =35 and rears =30, and will fit a 129.

If you do buy these wheels, they need 245/45's to make the overall diameter 25.7", which will keep your speedo and odometer correct.

This is the same size tire as installed on a stock 17 inch 129 wheel from the factory.

If these are C32 wheels, your buying 4 fronts. There are many sets of these around, and unless your getting them uber cheap, hold out of a normal staggered set, will look better on the car

A set of these pops up at least once a month or so on the common Mercedes forums.

If the et is different than 35, post back here what it is.
