Found new rims
I found 2007 c230 rims + tires for $500.

I'm sure its a good price, right? Well, only problems are, one has small curb rash.. But they still come with 3-5k miles left on the tires!

Is it well worth buying? (I'll have to drive 4 hours to pick up )

Will these fit my 2003 C240?

I'm waiting for him to get home this weekend so he can send me a pic of the curb rash'ed rim.

Pretty fair price. I recently let go of mine for around that amount. And yes, those will fit on your car.

Yes they will fit. If they're 16" then the price is too high. If they are 17" then I think your trip will be worthwhile.. That's my opinions though..

They're 17's. I wouldn't of bought them if they didn't have the tires, I got some ugly 16's on mine right now.

Well make sure you like those rims first before buying it. Don't buy it because they're 17 and have some life left in the tires. You'd end up spending more if you decide you don't really like the rims..

Yeah they didn't cost you anything either

I paid 350 I think for a set of those very rims with curb rash but I got a good deal.

you should see if you can talk him down to 400 or 450. 3-5k left on tires isnt much IMO.

I did NOT get the rims for free! It was an even trade, my 05 Sport rims (Trey's favorite) for Drew's 07 Sport rims (my favorite). I own the 07 rims now (not just using them) and Trey owns my former rims.

:douchebag:



PS Trey - yes, best deal ever.. I am grateful.
