Arrow Wheel specs for 2003 SL500

I have a set of OEM 7-spoke, 17-inch wheels from a 2003 SL 500, they are brand new and unused. I would like to know what other cars/models these wheels fit on, as I am trying to sell them along with the Pilot Sports that are on them. anybody interested can see my ad in the classifieds. I would just like to know what else they fit on. I had one guy ask about putting them on a passat, but I don't know what year. Thanks

I think its a bit difficult to find another car compatible with the SL's wheel specs. Why may i ask are you selling your stock rims?

The size and offset came from the SL pages at MBUSA.

The bolt pattern is one of the first things I learned on this board. It think it has been standard almost forever.

Bolt size and hub size have been posted here by Luke@tirerack.

They will not fit the older R129 SL at all due to the larger 14mm lug bolt size of the R230. The older SL uses 12mm bolts.

Possibility they may fit 2003 E-Class.
