how much for factory 18" wheels
So the PO of my car told me he found the original wheels in his garage and would sell them too me if I like. I wanted the stock wheels originally but the millenniums have grown on me. If I were to buy them what would a fair price be?
3 are original in very good condition, one is new never mounted, he cracked the original and purchased a new one from MB he said it was $900.
Thanks,
He is also still looking for the original Extended Warranty contract for me, because it is really the only way to transfer the MB warranty now a days.

Check out the classifieds and do some shopping around to compare prices. Then make a resonable offer. If he can't match, I would look else where.

white and whiter
used set runs about 1000-1200 a set, but of course some ppl sell them higher using other sources like the craglist, but on the forum 1000-1200 is about right.
some ppl believe they are worth more just because the dealership charges **** load, but they are really not worth the money when for the same money you can buy a set of forged BBS or Works or HREs while the AMGs are cast and heavy.

I actually went this past weekend to the dealership for a quote to see what they cost to buy an extra set of rear rims to put slicks on for the drag strip.
Each rear rim is $954 from dealership (factory finish) - part number 6-6-031342
If you want the rim chrome its about $250 extra each wheel to have it plated.
The front rim is probably around that same price maybe a bit cheaper...
If you can I would say try to find a set on craigslist or ebay that are in good condition... you can get a set for around $600 - $1200 in good condition.

Since I don't need them I was thinking of just low balling and offering $400.
Figure he doesn't need them either, they are just sittin in his garage. If he says no, oh well. still not even sure if I would swap them back or not. and If i did then I would have to try to sell the milleniums.

haven't paid attention to the offset of my wife's 17" SLK32 wheels are they the same as the C32? If so I should be able to throw the 18's on in place of her wheels right?
