Famous 7x15 Bundts?

Are these the (in)famous 7x15 Bundt wheels, or are these aftermarket repros? Tire size is indeed 15 inch and it is a set of 4.

http://cgi.ebay.de/Barockfelgen-7x15-ATS-Mercedes-W107-W116-W126_W0QQitemZ270115907012QQihZ017QQcategoryZ9892QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I have no interest, just curiosity. I do have 4 6x14 Bundts in my shed that I want to get rid off, but are too heavy to ship (tires still on), so pick up only.

Bert

They are indeed the 15" Bundts. Most 15" bundts are 'aftermarket' but then again, MB never actually made their own rims but outsourced these to rim manufacturers.

256 euros is a very low price for four --

too bad the shipping is prohibitive. Do they have the same last five minute rush in bidding on German EBay as here? -- Maybe I should quickly phone my cousins in Switzerland to see if they can fetch them over here next time they come for a visit.

What does "Felgenhersteller: ATS" mean, though? Is this an aftermarket brand?

"Felgenhersteller" means "rim manufacturer". ATS seems to be a name. That's why I posed my original question. Did ATS make Bundt alloys? Or has the guy simply misread something on the rim?

ATS is both an original equipment supplier to M-B

and an aftermarket wheel and parts source for AMG, etc.

Well, then they are not THE famous 15" Bundt's, but these are probably good enough that only a really knowledgeable concours judge could tell the difference.

They went for Euro 322. And here is a set in the US for sale. Slightly higher "buy it now" price.

Note that the seller in Indiana lists the offset as "37"

Shouldn't that be "23" if they are what he says they are?
