What are these wheels??

I know it is a PITA, but could anybody identify some wheels that are on a website for me?
The site is Wetterauer, and on that site, click Products, click on the S class and then 99- S500.
There is a silver one on there with the wheels I am trying to ID. I think they look great on the silver car. Also, what finish are they?
Thanks

If you could post a link to the site, it would be a little easier to find.

The wheels on that S500 look like a Chrome version of the Factory S600 wheels

S600 wheels

Are those the 2003 S600 wheels with the irregular slots in them?
That car has pre-2003 taillights with 2003 wheels, must be a European thing.
Thanks

most of the factory Mercedes wheels are transferable from one model to the next

Mercedes Tuner, do you know why these wheels have different part #'s and prices for front and rear even though they are all 18 by 8.5", and will they fit on my 2000 S500? Could the difference be in the offset or something that would prevent me from using them? Thanks

If they have different prices and part numbers, then the wheels must have different off-sets and/or have a different width. Other then that there shouldn't be a difference.
