Wake up early to take my old W210 E-320 for a quick balance and end up getting a flat. Then it turns out my wheels are bent, so that sucks even more. I go home pick up the wife and take the recently purchased used 2008 GL550 to grab a bite at the in-laws. Was there for about three hours and then BAM three flat tires as we were leaving!! Brand new continental tires leaking air all over the place. Luckily i carry a small air compressor and aired them up enough to haul *** to the nearest Discount Tire. Turns out some gaskets in the TPMS on two wheels were leaking and the other had a nail in it. Get it fixed then on the way home my left air shock gives out and the GL is bouncing all over the place. I get the air compressor cooling down message on the display. So i roll all lowrider on the way home and as im getting home i get the check tire pressure alert on the display. I get home and the front driver tire goes flat again!! AHHHH!!! What a bad day, luckily i purchased an extended warranty on the GL; hopefully it gets entirely fixed tomorrow at the dealer.
Sorry for the rant lol

EDIT: Forgot to mention, throughout the entire dillema, I managed to purchase some wheels off craigslist. AMG 20x8.5 FRONT and 20x9.5 REAR with ET43 that came off a S500. Do you guys think those wheels will fit the GL550? Damn Contis and Pirellis for 21's are damn expensive!

What is the load rating on the S500 wheels?

Good question how can i find that out? Tried searching the part number of the wheels with no avail on that information.
MB 221 401 2402

EDIT: These are the wheels next to my W210

EDIT 2: Turns out they are OEM wheels off W221 S65. Guess i got a hell of a deal for the wheels. I paid $275.00 for 4 wheels and 2 used tires. Wheels have a couple of blemishes but nothing that cant be fixed. Heres a link of the same wheels for sale on benzworld.

That is a GREAT deal on the wheels but please take a close look and ensure they are genuine OEM AMG wheels and not knock-offs as the safety element cannot be overstated.

They appear to be the OEM factory wheels, they have the factory part #'s with a mb emblem, Made in Austria, with MB balance weights on the wheels.

Awesome. Just wanted to bring it up, though you sure seem to know your cars. GL550 is a top drawer SUV, congrats on the purchase. Nice user name too, btw....

Thanks, I had a GLK but since baby is on the way i figured i wanted a tank for the wife to drive and be safe in. Used to have a R1 but not to safe around where i live to be on bikes.

Here are some pics of the wheels

You will need a 1" spacer to run those wheels.

Thanks for the reply just might give them a try once i get my vehicle back from the dealer. I hear the HR adapters are the best in the market.
