EVO Wheel part number

Can someone tell me if the part number 201.401.1202 is an EVO 17 X 8.25 ET34 wheel with the machine finish (no painted)? I'm thinking it is a different size, since it is a 201 (190E) part number. Was there a W124 part number for the EVO wheel?
 
Some while back I purchased a set of EVO 17X8.25 ET34, part no: 129.401.1202. If this is the same wheel as the part number you have given, then I can confirm this is not a machine finish - it is painted.

Hope this helps?
 
201-401-12-02 is 17x8.25 Evo/Ceginus, Sterling Silver painted.
124-401-17-02 is 17x8.25 Evo/Ceginus, High Sheen / Diamond Cut / machined clearcoat.

The narrower 7.5" version of these wheels all have a 170- prefix part number (3 variants - high-sheen, silver paint, or dark gray paint).

NOTE:
I had never seen the p/n 129-401-12-02 before. The EPC shows this as a Japan-only 8.25" Albali wheel, B6-647-0541, which is not an Evo wheel. Click here for photos / details. There appears to be an error on some other wheel listings which claim 129-401-12-02 is Evo, but AFAICT it is not, and the number 129-401-12-02 does not appear cast into any Evo wheel that I've seen.

Don't get hung up on the p/n prefix. IIRC the 8.25 wheel was originally used on the 201.036 chassis which is probably why it has a 201 prefix.

That's really interesting regarding p/n: 129 401 12 02 - and the link you have given - which as you correctly state shows an Albali wheel.

However, if you search the Alloy Wheels Direct site for wheels for a W124, you can find Genuine MB EVO IIs under p/n: 129 401 12 02. Here's the link:


These are the very wheels I bought from Alloy Wheels Direct some while back - and they are definitely EVO IIs !

All very confusing?

Yes, it is confusing! And I believe it is an error on the Alloy Wheels Direct website. They sell wheels based on the B6- accessory part number, and include the 10-digit spare part number as a reference. The B6- number is correct, the 129-number is wrong. Their website is usually pretty accurate, this is the first time I've seen them have wrong info posted.

Thanks, Dave. MB Classic Center said they have a set of the 201-401-12-02's and said they were Diamond Cut. I'm going to ask him to take pictures as I thought this part number referenced painted as well.

Definitely confirm before purchase. AFAIK, the Diamond Cut have been NLA for a number of years. Painted appear to still be available.
