Hi guys - been looking at some wheels on ebay (Australia) - supposedly off a W211 - 17x8 - front ET28 - rear ET18 - from my search on the forum they will fit the W126 but the wheel fitment chart I look at says that the ET for the W211 is 30 all round --- I am guessing these wheels are aftermarket ? (even though they look like MB wheels) but why the different ET ? cheers ----- I dont know how to attach a link to the ebay listing ?

Probably they are a staggered set for an aggressive stance. Mine for example are front et22, rear et11.
I guess the ones you are looking at are aftermarket. Not necessarily a bad thing.
