5x112 covers other German cars too, like VW   , which is more likely in 6" x 14". Some older Wolfrace wheels ('70 and '80s) had the offset measured in imperial. For Scimitar they were marked as '.105 out' or '.125 in'. Any markings like that on yours? |

Where I would expect something like Et30 to be cast into the rim it has -He30,just wondering if that means they have an ET of -30 or not.
They are on a late bay at the moment,but pretty sure they where originally on a Merc.
They guy selling them won't take a tape to them to measure the ET

ET designation was not normally used when these wheels were made, they were measured by drawing a theoretical line thru the width of the wheel, that was 0 offset, then measured in inches inset or offset, looking at the wheels, I'm sure they are all inset, as they don't have any dish..

Have you got a photo of one fitted to the camper? Might be an idea to compare it to a photo of a camper wearing a wheel that you know the offset to and guesstimate based on the difference in arch gap between the two.

I'm reasonably sure that He30 is the grade of aluminium.

"GKN" cast into the rim after "Wolfrace" dates it to mid 70s/mid 80s - the letter/numbers in the small crcles will date it exactly.
KBA is the Kraftfahrt Bundesamt. It's the German government department responsible for type approvals. 40174 is the approval number for the wheel.
FHA-H is the cross sectional profile.
e is Einpresstiefe (offset), so plus 30mm
