Did a little research, and they are 2003 SL class wheels. They require spacers in the rear...now I have to decide if spacers are safe or not.

If you need spacers, get H&R spacers that are made for mercedes. They pass TUV (germany's DOT) and still center your wheels as needed.
Warning: they are not cheap!

Yes, I'd say they were 2003 SL 500 wheels. I put a set of them on my 92 SL without problem once I obtained the proper length lug bolts!

How do you determine what size/width spacer you need?
