Ok guys what's it called...? I know it's from a Merc but for the life of me can't find what it's called.

They were fitted to the S-class and the A-class too.

I'll be back with more detail, bear with me.

I believe that is just known as a Mercedes 5 Spoke, the part number on the rear will dictate the application it's for.

"Algebar" was the name given to the 15 and 16 inch variant of that wheel when on the A-Class. I assume the name followed to the S-class too?

Should do, just check they don't foul on the sliding door but I think they'll be grand.

You'll need spigot rings to reduce the centre bore from 66.6mm to 57.1mm

Will i have to get these custom fabricated, or can these be got off the shelf?
