Help with wheels

Can anyone help out an uneducated gentleman on what these wheels are? They came as spares with my 98 sl500. Wanting to sell them. Mostly just interested in what they actually are.
thank you
Warren

Looks like somebody painted a Aero II Monoblock something other than factory silver.

You have to look on the other side to see if its for a R129.

From the tire size on it, I can safely assume that wheel is an AMG Monoblock Type 2 wheel for the front.

Specs are :

8" x 18" ET31 with factory recommended 225/40 tire for the W208 chassis, and 235/40 tire for the W210 chassis.

However, this can also have a part number HWA 129 401 01 02 on it which would fit the R129 no issues.

As mentioned above they look to be AMG Aero II monoblock wheels. You should double confirm the exact specifications on the back to confirm fitment but I'm guessing they're W210/R129 specifications. If you want to refinish them to like OEM I believe you will need to ask for a 'diamond cut' lips and silver faces, although I don't have the exact color code for the silver faces. Lots of people refinish the wheels in just silver and miss the diamond cut lip detail.


Where are the wheels located? If you want to sell them I'd be potentially interested.
