Yes, those are the correct offsets for the W211. But IMO, his asking price is pretty aggressive. I picked up a virtually flawless set of genuine SL65 rims, same as these and with good tires, for $2,000, shipping included, about 9 months ago. Granted, tt was a good deal, but $3,200 is too much unless you must have the wheels.

The offsets are the correct et30 front and et31 rear (8.5 and 9.5 widths, respectively), for the W211 chassis using a 19" wheel. The fronts do not rub with 255/35/19 tires mounted, and I experienced only very modest rubbing (over bumps) with the 285/30s mounted when the car was in its lowered position (Renntech ELM, v2). At normal ride height, virtually no rubbing at all. The optimal tires sizes for 19 wheels on the W211 chassis are 245/35 and 275/30, since these sizes most closely match the overall tire diameter of the factory installed 18" tires. You'll have zero rubbing at all when you use the correct size tires. Although the larger tires may provide better optics, you lose effective gearing because of the larger diameters, they're heavier, the speedometer becomes less accurate, and IMO, don't handle quite as well as the optimal set-up (feels somewhat more sluggish on initial turn-in). The wheels are probably the most beautiful ever offered by AMG, but as you note, they are very heavy. Best for show, not go!
