ET23.3 is the backspacing for the early version of BBS MAHLE wheel (pre 1980?) with the lettering on the wheel lip.

The later BBS "RA" wheels pictured above are basically the same but the backspacing is ET23 and the lettering is near the bolt holes.

My set of early 15x7 ET 23 MAHLE wheels:

Notice the one bead retaining "hump" (H1) on these 17.5s.

All other G wheels have two bead retaining "humps" (H2).

I had Black bbs on my W123, to me they look 10X better now after refinishing in silver (just like you have now).
