[1999_SL500]

I hope someone can help me with this issue: I am considering the purchase of a 1999 SL600 that has the SL2 package and I am trying to determine if it has the SL1 package as well. On the left and right front fender there is a badge with "SPORT" on it. The reason I am wanting to know this is the car currently has some funky aftermarket wheels and tires and I want to replace them with whatever were on the car originally. I have been told if the car has the SL1 SPORT package then the stock wheels should have been the 18x 8.0 on the front and the 18X 9.0 on the rear, both being the Monoblock type wheel. It appears from one of the photos the seller sent to me it has a black painted steel wheel on the spare tire just like my 1999 SL500 has. My SL500 does not have the SPORT package and has the 17 inch Monoblock wheels. Could this car have had the 17 inch wheels? Unfortunately there is no window sticker which would list the options.

Thanks,

Mike
