Question W.T.B 2 rear OEM C32 RIMS ASAP!!

Ok gonna order 2 rear 255/40/17 BF Goodrich T/A Drag radials and in need of 2 OEM C32 rims(rear staggered) so I won't need to change it to these tires everytime I go to drag. They don't have to be in best condition but nothing badly noticeable. I can get remanufactured ones locally for about $150 each without taxes so trying to not spend over $320 shipped. If you are looking to unload the rims I seek email me asap.... mr.r1@comcast.net Victor

$150 per wheel is a really good deal - TireRack still sells this wheel (17 x 8.5 rear C32 wheel) new, and right now it's 20% off on closeout... and it's still $319 per wheel (down from $399 per wheel). So getting two remanufactured ones for $300 out the door is pretty good, IMHO. Congrats on that find!

This may be a dumb question but from the looks of it a 17" stock C32 AMG rim can handle 255-40's in the rear? If the answer is yes I assume the fronts could be bumped up 235's-45-17's?

In regards to the wheels if they are OEM that is a steal (Jump On Them). Around here it is $150 just to re finsh a rim.

Thanks

Fronts can be as big as 245s if you're lucky. I have 245/40s on the front, mounted on rear OEM wheels. No rubbing.

I figure a little more rubber on the road can not hurt
