Hi there, Im selling off a set of these rims I was given as a credit for an exchange from a shady Montreal MB parts shop...

Im moving and have to leave them behind. They were about a $250 value when I got them two years ago and used them only as my winter tire set.

Im trying to sell them now and I dont actually knw how to describe them accurately.

How do I measure the rim size? How would you describe them by those with experienced eyes.

I had them on a 1985 300TD wagon, but to use them I needed longer lug nuts. (which he charged me another $50 for )

Anyways I would like to take them off my hands with the Lugs for almost any price, as I hoave no other choice but to be rid of them. And i hate seeing good things go to waste so I dont want to scrap them.

Thanks for any Ideas

They are 15-hole wheels. Not sure if they are genuine MB wheels which will have the wheel size and offset (ET) marked on the back of the wheels. Your wheels appear to be aftermarket wheels.

Inside meaning inside the tire? or on the inner facing side of the wheel?
Thanks.

Technically, "obverse," as in the opposite side of the wheel, the mounting-surface side. Many modern wheels have this, not just benz. I'd definitely inspect closely before trying to measure, offset would be the greatest challenge. If they are the same width as your stock wheels, you could measure the difference and calculate it.

Good luck, and on the move as well.

If the specs aren't marked anywhere on the wheel, you'll have to get out the tape measure.

Diameter is easy enough, just look at the tire size.
Width is measured from bead surface to bead surface, which you obviously can't do with tires on. You can, however, measure the overall width of the wheel and subtract about an inch, which is a good approximation.
For offset, bridge a straightedge across the inner lip of the wheel and measure from the backpad to the straightedge, which will give you the wheel's backspacing. Take your overall width from above (that is, the width before you subtracted an inch from it) and divide by two to get the centerline. Backspacing - centerline = offset. Offset is typically reported in mm.

The factory wheels do have the specs stamped on the inside of the wheel just below the openings, part number, then size and offset, then a coding of some sort (three different sets of numbers). You will have to clean it well to see but under all the brake dust and crap will be a stamping. All Mercedes wheels have this on the inside of the rim or on the hub area with steel wheels.
Your wheels could be Gen2 W126 wheels or one of several W124 fitments, you need to list a part number or specs as there were lots of different wheels that looked similar but don't fit the same models.
The wheel bolts are worth something, the wheels not much. I haven't had much luck selling 14 or 15" factory wheels for a long time, even the rare 240D black alloys. I usually get $25 a rim, and even that is tough these days to make a sale-for clean wheels with nice paint! There is just nobody left in our area driving these cars, I have found Toronto has a good draw for parts yet, but not locally.
