bought some unknown 20" Mercedes wheels please help identify them
So got a good deal on Craigslist today and could not resist
I just hope they will fit my 2000 e55
they are 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 9.5 with 35 and 38 offset
these wheels seem unusually light for their size
I weight them in at only 27 lb for 8.5 and 9.5 have tires on them so could
Not check the weight. For comparison stock 18s on my car are around 26lb ,
Stock s550 19" wheels in my garage are around 32lb
have no clue what they are though
anyone know?
There are "VIA" and "JWL" letters on the front of the wheel
NEVER MIND
THEY ARE CARLSON 2/5 REPLICAS

It's a replica wheel, many companies offered those actually. The wheel is fine, the offset is a bit high for that car as far as looks go. The wheels will sit in pretty far, the ideal thing would be to run at least 8mm hub centric spacers to make them sit proper.

As I suspected these wheels are pretty light weight
Also they look like they are powder coated or painted on the inside
Offsets are actually 35 front and 38 rear so they should fit my
Car but I'm hesitant to put 20s with not the best roads in the country here

So does this mean this wheels are expensive ?
