Finally running on a brand new set of Monoblock A  (pics to come once car is as clean as the wheels!!)

As a by-product, soon to be for sale will be a full set of Monoblock vi.  Not in too bad a condition - 3 hold air (2 x rear & 1 x front) and one of the fronts was flattened in a spot that it doesn't hold air - I reshaped, but still no luck.  Pretty much scuff free.  Ideal for if you know someone who can do something better with the wheel than me, or buy a front wheel - to create a full set.
OR
Perfect if you want to run 4 x rears all round.

Sometimes even perfectly good wheels don't hold air due to bead problems.
I had that problem on all 4 of the alloys on my M5 ! !   Soon sorted by the local
tyre place....deflated the tyres, took tyres off the beads, and they brushed on
some sticky black 'goop' like mastic all round the inner rims edges, then re-inflatted
the tyres. I never had a problem with them after that. I think it cost me £10 at the time.

So to do one wheel....at todays prices....perhaps £5.

Well done mate. How do u rate the looks compared to the old wheels? Where did you pic the rears up from?

I think they look great! - They tend to stand out a lot more than the vi, maybe because the spokes are solid.  They look bigger than 17"!

I ended up giving in, due to ease of supply and collection and get the rears from Mercedes, but I did get them to knock 10% off as it was the last pair in the warehouse at Milton Keynes

Well done that's a good result ESP with getting the fronts for a good price. Yeah I think because there is no dish to the As it really makes the car look more stocky.
