Hey all, new here S65 in the garage....

Hey everybody, purchased an 06 with about ~60k miles from Bruce Mendel a little over a year ago. Thought it was about time I joined up here to learn as much as I can.

I also have a few wheels to sell. Long story short, the car had a cracked wheel which was repaired prior to my purchase. Instead of going OEM, I decided to purchase a set of aftermarket wheels. Is there any market to sell the remaining three wheels? They are in great shape and would help somebody out in a similar situation to mine. Thoughts?

Congrats on the new ride! It is a beast! Interested in selling a rear rim? I slammed a curb and scratched the hell out of the rim.

It is a beast! I haven't even fully wrung it out yet. The power is incredible.

A 4 year extended service contract was a plus...but I am still nervous about maintenance haha.

Absolutely would sell them individually. I will have to take some pictures this weekend. Interested in the rubber still on it?

The service contract is a plus for sure. Make sure you read the fine print and see what it DOESN'T cover.

Do you have any maintenance records from the previous owner?

Might be interested in the rubber too. If the tire is already on the rim, I will consider it.

Thanks!

Maintenance records were pretty thorough, Bruce does a good job finding quality S-class sedans.

I snapped a photo just now to give you an idea of condition, but I can take better ones when I am not at work (and when they come off the car). Currently waiting on the new set to come in. The tire is an almost new Hankook.

Now to figure out how to upload.....

Main issues with this car is the ABC system and coil packs.

I bought my S65 from Bruce in August 2015. These cars are way to much bang for the buck.
I highly rec'd you flush the suspension fluid if there is ANY discoloration. Those wheels are hard to find.
