I always thought this wheel was only available in 18". I wonder what the weight is on these 17"

I've had these in 17 (staggered 7.5/8.5) on my first W202 back in 2001, bought those brand new (along with Carlsson suspension) directly from TIreRack. I was happiest person on earth! And from what I remember, all were very reasonably priced back then... For the weight - don't know the exact weight, but these wheels are heavy!!!

Heavier than Monoblocks or similar? These are literally the only other wheels I would consider on my E420 so I am definitely trying to not email the seller now and take a road trip this weekend

About the same as monoblocks... Trying huh? I bet $600 takes it?

I messaged him earlier today and he seems like a nice guy who is willing to ship if he needs to. Based on your weight comment @Duh_Vinci I will give these a miss. I am looking for something that is no heavier than the original 8 hole wheels and I guess these aren't it :-(

@TimL, the factory 8-hole 16x8.0 wheels average about 24 pounds, ±3% or so. There's not a lot of larger wheels which are lighter... generally will be aftermarket forged lightweight stuff. Finding accurate weight data is tough, because bathroom scales don't cut it. Really need a calibrated scale (refrigerant scale, shipping/postal scale) that is accurate within ±0.1 pound to get valid data.

I looked at a set of these in 17” about a decade ago because the 17” monoblocks felt like walking in snow boots when used on a 124 wagon.

These felt considerably heavier.

The 19” version with tires is over 100 pounds a unit IIRC

The seller messaged me today saying that he would be willing to sell these for $1k with tires removed and shipped to Seattle. I will not proceed due to the weight of the wheels, but thought I'd let everyone here know as a point of reference in case they are interested in these wheels,
