Mystery Wheels

Hey guys, My Father-in-law has a set of MB wheels in his garage, but doesn't know a thing about them (neither do I). I was hoping you knowledgeable folks might be able to help me figure this out. Are/were they stock? Which model/year did they come on? What is the bolt pattern?




Thanks in advance,

-X

Sorry if the images are too big. I didn't want to reduce them and lose detail.

Ditto, looks like factory R170 (SLK) wheels, somewhere between 2001 -2004.

Wheels size & offets should be cast into the back side of the wheels adjacent to the part number you took a picture of..

Bolt pattern is 5 x 112

Awesome guys, thanks.

Now for part two, I forgot to mention this was a two part question.
He's looking to get rid of them, what should I tell him is a fair price?

again, thanks in advance.

if all else fails 16" alloy wheels are worth about $10-$15 at a scrap yard
