I think these should fit on our cars with a spacer in the rear.
Specs on the site i found them on are as follows:
Front: 18x8.5 ET35
Rear: 18x9.5 ET40

Anyone have pics of these on a 202?

won't need a spacer in the rear, that fitment is good.

woooooooohhhhh, those are cool!

from what i have heard, these rims are actually functional for the SL. the design forces air to the brakes at high speeds which helps to cool off the disks when breaking.

I believe the bolt pattern is different on those rims than on the w202. 14 mm vs 12 mm

I dont think thats correct.. all the wheels have the same part number.. so only 1 side of the car would possibly have that effect form the spokes 9since the other side spokes will be facing the opposite way.. so it would only be true for 1 side of the car.
its a nice wheel.. and Ive never seen it on the W202.. I have seen the multispoke AMG SL55 wheel on a W202.. it looked very DTM!! I test fitted it one time on my car. looked pretty sweet.. but the tires didnt fit (SL55 tire sizes) so I would have had to chanced the front tires for it to clear the spindle.

the bolt pattern is still the same, but it is true that the bolt diameters are different on the W202 and R230.. but if you use the shorter "steel wheel" bolts in the SL wheels they will bolt up to the 202 hub. they should center the wheel on the hub. at least when I test fitted the SL55 wheels on my car they worked (used the shorter w202 steel wheel bolts).
