    A broad question and I am sure one that has been answered previously : - )

    I am struggling to find out what the original factory fitted wheels on my car should be

    The boot specification sticker is not helping much, any other sources I can refer to?

    Thanks

    James

    compare the boot sticker to the list in here:

    if it comes up as steel wheels either the original buyer was really tight, or extremely flush with cash. steel wheels were also fitted at the factory if aftermarket alloy wheels were ordered from the dealer accessories catalogue. reason is the factory only fits factory options, any dealer options are fitted to the car once it arrives at the dealer :)

    Thanks

    I have 791, 930, 776, 565, WE3, EQE,& EQG option codes, I can identify those in red but not the others and none seem to refer to wheels

    I think the WE3 may refer to "sales campaign"?
