Are these wheels Legit?

The offsets match the grotty replicas I am trying to replace! Are these really original?

They never made those wheels for the W208, they're a W211/219 designed wheel iirc.

They may well be genuine, but I'd hazard a guess that they're from a B-Class.

Cheers, according to alloy wheels direct the 17x7.5 front is paired with a 17x8.5 rear and the offsets are different!

I will give the seller the benefit of the doubt and hope he is misinformed and not pulling a fast one

Ask for the part number.

I'm only really in the market for genuine wheels that match the ones fitted by Mercedes. I need to find out what the rear offset was as AWD quote a 30 or a 34 offset for a 17.5x8.5 AMG wheel fitted to a W208. I have just about exhausted all other avenues so reverting to original fitments is my last chance to improve the drive!
