No problem my friend.
In case anyone is interested, there's a set of S55 AMG two piece 19" wheels which will fit the C63. Below is a photo of which wheel it is but this is not the set for sale. They are with around 70% Pirelli Pzeros on them. I didn't take photos of this wheel as I just noticed it when looking at the black mutlispokes but they were in excellent condition. Had been refurbished but professionally and are not cracked or bent. I was actually looking for a set like this for my C63 but couldn't find them and then opted for the SLS style wheels instead.
I really have no idea how much these go for over there but new from alloywheelsdirect.net they are close to $9000.
With the tires they are for $2200 including shipping.

Guys, please help out. I've got a set of spacers 10mm and 25mm with the correct lug nuts to fit these to a C63. These came off my car before I switched rims. Are they worth anything or should I just keep them in the garage? They are H&R. Were already on the car when I bought it so have no idea of how much they cost.

That is what i was wondering myself by looking at your blurry picture. Was too shiny to be an original matte. Keep me posted whenever you have another set available. Thx

Let me ask on that one and get back to you. On another note, I just thought to also ask them if the agent on the other side can then send on to do a 'to door' service and if yes, how much extra it would cost.
These would arrive to the port but then the agent clears them and takes them to their warehouse and they're stored there. You will not have to do anything with customs but rather just collect them from the agent's address.

Thanks Roswell,
Hey Derek, with the shipping number, please let me know what the agent says?
Sorry guys. I know a few of you were debating over them and I did say I would sell them to the first one who paid for them.
Congratulations tuffcalc.
Will do my best to arrange another set for those who missed out but can't make no promises.

Actually - after spending the last 5 hours trying to figure out how to get payment to this dealer via Western Union, pidgeon, you name it - I'm just going to buy them elsewhere.
My paypal payment was refunded and I'm not comfortable sending a wire to a dealer who keeps changing the terms on me.
Not sure if this guy is legit or not (and hopefully he is) - but I will let someone else take a shot at it.
Cheers

OK, well let me explain the situation.
This guy sent me the money via PayPal. Over here in Dubai, PayPal isn't the same as in the US. There's only one option to withdraw money from PayPal here and that's transfer it to your credit card. So if my credit card balance was $7500 and someone transfers me $2500, it means my new balance is $5000. This transfer to the card doesn't even count as a minimum payment. After speaking to PayPal and trying to find out how I can get the cash from someone who is sending me PayPal, I found out it's simply not possible.
As soon as I found out this, I sent an email to tuffcalc and explained the situation and immediately refunded the full amount he sent me via paypal. If I was trying to rip him, or someone else off, I would have simply transferred to my credit card and not sent the wheels.
I told him I would take WU or bank transfer and pay all fees that he incurred. After a number of unpleasant email exchanges later, I saw his message above. This was the biggest headache ever and I must have sent 15 emails trying to help him after I refunded his money. Not too upset that they didn't go to him.
So to sum up, the wheels are still for sale. If I was trying to screw someone, I wouldn't have refunded the money on PayPal. So open to any offers.
Thanks

Sam, I truly believe you are an honest member, and I applaud you for helping us get the OEM 19's to America... and you are charging a very reasonable price as well, you could sell them for over 3000$ & still have interest.
That being said, as a buyer stand point... it is much safer to use paypal to pay for purchases, no matter where in this world the seller is. So my advice would be to figure out a way to use your cash from paypal... for example, pay for the wheels with your credit card & get refunded by your paypal kind of thing... just my advice though. Who knows, you might find a buyer who is willing to send you cash.
Good luck & thank you again for helping us.

Thanks Roswell,
You've almost got the signature lined up. At least the bottom is aligned!
I hear you and that would be a good idea. While Dubai is often described as a mini Vegas, it's not as advanced as you might think.
The UAE is split up in to what are called Emirates. There are 7 in total. One Dubai, One Abu Dhabi, One Sharjah etc.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are very developed whereas the other 5 emirates not so much so. There's an industrial area in Sharjah (one Emirate) that has a lot of wheel and tire shops. These are the shops that sell the wheels. They only deal in used wheels and have a few employees in the shop. These employees are paid minimally - perhaps $1000 a month if lucky. Very, very few of these shops, unless huge, take credit card and it's often impossible to find a shop that's selling these OEM 63 wheels that takes card. That said, I've already purchased them for cash so am tight on cash at the moment.
If the PayPal payment would count towards my credit card minimum monthly payment, I wouldn't have refunded it but instead paid it to my credit card. Unfortunately it does not so it means I transfer $2500 and then have to pay another $1500 as a minimum payment. I don't want too much cash tied up there.
Again, thanks for your message saying you believe I'm honest and this is confirmed by the fact I refunded the money and even said I would pay any fees to tuffcalc that were not covered by the refund. Fortunately paypal refunded the full amount including the charges.

I totally understand your situation... it's like in Asia where cash is king! LOL
Well, i guess you should edit your first post with this important detail... No paypal pls, money transfer only. This will save your time a lot.
Do you remember in the past when you started your thread about selling used wheels, and I suggested you it might not be worth it as shipping overseas might cause you more headache than what its worth... well, this is an example... sometimes having good intention is not perceived the same way by others. Good luck!

Yes, I remember very clearly!
I didn't imagine this would be so much headache. Over here, I advertise them, someone comes, looks at them and pays cash and leaves. Much much easier.
I am going to try one last thing. I deal with one distributor quite a lot. I am going to see if I pay him via credit card, if he can give me the cash minus the 2.5% credit card processing fee. If that works, I will do that and take paypal.
If not, will delete this thread and move on and sell them locally

OK, so I've spoken to a shop I refer quite a few people to with regards to fitting new tires and doing fitting and balancing and alignment and the owner has said I can make a payment to him via credit card and he will pay me the cash minus the transaction processing fees. That means I will take PayPal for these.
Because I've not bought these, I will sell them at $2500 shipped via sea or $2900 shipped via air. I've also advertised them locally which will be far less headache.
