Sorry to bother you guys with something trivial like this, but I got these wheels in a purchase and would like to know what they fit and what they're worth. PO said Porsche, but who knows. I forgot to look but I think they're 15" by zooming in on the pic.

Thanks, guys!

The look a little different to the typical Porsche steel wheels, especially those parts to keep the hubcap on - I've never seen those before. Any markings/part numbers on the back?

Look like 13" wheels from a Mercedes 190 SL

Here's some markings on the front of the wheel. The backs are super filthy, I'll have to power wash them to see anything.
11 61 Date code?

300C 300D Mercedes, maybe? When I Google Image all of this nothing remotely the same comes up.

Any comments are welcome. BTW, they definitely are 15".

Thanks!

That logo is KPZ- KronPrinz, which is one of the two suppliers of VW wheels, (Lemmerz being the other).
It says: 300c, 300d. Which I would guess to be the big mercedes. Google for a image of a 1962 Mercedes wheel.
Got to be worth something to the right person!!
I found similar wheels recently, 15", big bolt circle. The turned out to be Saab 93. Didn't look like yours, tho.
