The Dealer will raaape you. Don't go there. Any tire place can mount the wheel on a tire. Max 10min. job.

no, no I meant don't get them mounted at the Dealer. if you want non-oem that is fine. but once the wheel comes just get it mounted to the tire at a local tire place not the dealer.

Unless you want the OEM quality and name then you should do it like this. or if you just have a bunch of money just buy the wheel from mercedes, and have it mounted on the tire there as well.
