I bought these a while back, they needed a refurb, my intention being to use them with summer tyres in place of the 17s currently on my car that are fitted with winters. However....I bought them in the dark, when it was raining....and they were painted black....meaning I missed quite a few marks in the metal faces. Bugger. 
My mate who powdercoats stuff for me did call me to say he couldn't repair the marks (he's not in the wheel refurb game), did I want him to abandon the job pending me getting them properly repaired....I ummed and ahhhd and said no, do them, they'll be fine. Anyway, it's not, it would bug me intensely if I fitted them (despite having bought tyres for them...) so I'm going to move them on. I can't be ****d getting them refurbed again - good job I get to pay my mate with a few bottles of red!
Fronts are 8.5Jx18 ET48 and take 245/40-18 tyres
Rears are 9Jx18 ET54 and take 265/35-18 tyres.
They will fit W/S 212s and 213s, and I'm 99% certain they'll fit W/S211s too.
Tyres are already spoken for.
They're genuine Mercedes wheels, btw, not knock-offs. Pics show the finish. They don't look too bad and would make a good spare set of winters as they are. Worst mark is the one near one of the bolt holes - looks as if somebody's been trying to get a locking one off or similar! There are no cracks or buckles anywhere.
£300 collected from close to junction 29a of the M1, I don't mind a drive out to meet somewhere if it helps.
