(replica).
My set on my car have 6 spokes?? I'm lost - can someone enlighten me please? Herbie
 
The first ones look like the ones that were fited to later W210 E-classes.

Due to the style quite prone to kerbing scratches, i recall.

Thanks Tan -

Can anyone tell me whether the 5 and 6 spoke wheels in this style were both available as genuine MB? Or is one of them a non-MB style altogether?
 
I cant remember exactly, but I'd ask for a photo of the MB part number on thewheel that will sort out any replicas. Another thing to bear in mind is that insurance companies to have standard wheels so if you fit a wheel that was an option on your car you may not need to pay extra insurance to get the whees covered. If you fit replicas you almost certainly will have to pay extra! I did...
