Since we are talking dollars and cents, I paid $320, nice clean set with 4 tires that lasted about 5K miles because of a flat with sidewall damage so I replaced all four, may have gotten 10K out of them. The new tires, Riken Raptors, set me back $385 installed, OTD, good tires so far.

I think they are great wheels, most of the time the factory puts extremely high quality wheels on the cars. But then everyone has to be different. So they buy wheels that in most cases do not stack up to the factory wheels. But as far as quality versus quantity, there are so many of these wheels out there that the demand is what dictates the price. Do I think these wheels are worth $600.00? Yes, they are but there are so many pairs out there so you can find them for less. After my wheel blow out leaving the bay area, I think I would put these wheels on for long trips where the road conditions might be in question. Sucks breaking a wheel and being stranded because most wheels do not fit over the AMG brakes. Oh and no thanks to the Mercedes dealers in that area, they would not help at all. Ok now that I'm off topic! THE END
