Re: Unknown wheel design

Where they offered (perhaps in Germany) as an optional xtra before 2007?
I am perplexed because I have them on my 2nd hand 09/2004 SWB G500. The dealer claimed they were original equipment. :shock:

Re: Unknown wheel design

I'm fairly certain no - but I could be wrong...

Maybe check with Mortinson or 4x4abc. I think they are called RL6 for reference.

05, I think that is about the time they changed. Richard will know, I think his '06 has them on, that will be an '05 build.

Re: Unknown wheel design

That would make sense as now that you mention it I think they may have been released the same year as the G55K.

Re: Unknown wheel design

The code RL6 is thrown up when entering the VIN in the Russian site (but described as "unknown code"). I think it is now fairly safe to assume that these wheels were indeed fitted as original equipment.
My car left the factory 08/04. Does this make her a 04 or 05 model?

04 was when they came out, because we saw them on a G in stuttgart when Howard and I went to pick his G up.

Re: Unknown wheel design

My father has them on his 2002 270 CDi. They're OEM, delivered with the car and also listed in the datacard. The car was titled august 2002, so at least they've been around since then.
