Well the first set I sold was to m3equals in NY which was shipped via sea (the black matte OEM19 set off my car) and the second set I sold was to Mike which arrived before the first set arrived (Mike's set sent via Fed Ex air). Mike was very happy and the tire condition were in much better condition than I had described them - like to be conservative.

Now I've just been informed by M3equals333 (Derek) that the black set from my car arrived on the 1st of January and he's colllected them. So I am interested first of all to hear from him the condition they are in compared to the description I described for both the wheels and tires. I hope he's happy.

I've currently got access to 2 sets: (edit - the Michelin set sold and just the Continental set remaining).

Now I know there's two sets available over here with the wheels in very good condition - no curbing and no chips. The 1st set is Continental contact sport 3s. The second set is Pirelli Super Sports on the rear 265/30/19 and Michelin PS2s on the front with 65% remaining.

Amazing prices for the condition. Let me know if anyone's interested but before doing so, I would like M3equals feedback on his experience with me. Maykel / Mike has been open so looking for honest feedback. Mike and M3equals, your input and photos would be appreciated here.

Sam, first and foremost just wanted to thank you. The wheels are in great condition and the treads are as good or better than you stated they would be! I appreciate you leaving the AMG center caps you had installed when they were on your car, in addition to giving me the OEM MB center caps that I asked if you still had.

Great deal from a stand up guy. Very straight forward and honest person to deal with.

Working on getting them installed at the moment although it may not happen until Tuesday as my local MB dealership bodyshop/tech guy has a "personal" day every Tues after work to work on personal project etc and he agreed to put the CF stuff on and do the wheels, although I may get a local shop to put the wheels on instead today/tomorrow (need them to dismount tires and put in TPMS also, or else they would be on already lol).

Hi Meng, yup, luckily the wheels hit the port essentially on time and the estimated 3-4 days it would take to clear the port procedures, get picked up and transported to the warehouse, etc etc only took one night lol (they hit the port Thurs night and I grabbed them yesterday morning

It was kind of funny at the warehouse when I went to pick up the wheels as they kept asking me which truck I was in (all big rigs picking up containers and large shipments) and I said, "I got the silver Toyota Sienna parked out front." lol. So there I was amongst 18 wheelers...looking bada$$ in my minivan haha.

Due to my extreme impulsiveness, I could not wait until Tues to have the wheels installed with the other stuff, so I had them put on yesterday night lol. I also put on the smoked out 5LED side markers last night...I like them, but they are actually brighter than the daytime running LED's and headlights lol. I might actually put a very light tint over the side markers so it tones them down a touch to perfectly match the daytime running LED light brightness.

I will post pics later of the wheels installed

That's one SEXY BAD *** CAR!

Roswell

The Contis looks in better shape than the Michelin, I'm surprised u sold the Michelin first. Lol

C-63AMG

TBH, the photo of the Michelin super sports didn't do the tires justice. There's quite a bit more tread on them than you realise from looking at the photo. The front tires are standard PS2s and they look just like the Contis. It's just hard to tell with semi slicks and the likes of Super Sports and NT05s etc unless using a coin in the tread.

I always estimate the tread from looking at them and then take 5% off of what I think. Turns out they end up being 10% better than what I estimated. That said, I need to get one of those tread testing machines - never seen them out here! How would that even work with a semi slick or slick tire?

A set like this also for sale in a 19". Mercedes 2 piece wheels from the S55 AMG and the CL55 AMG. Cost $9000 new. Available for $2600 shipped.

Here are the pics with the matte black 19's (and smoked LED markers) installed....10mm spacers on the front...rears have 275's on them, so no spacers used. Calipers being painted on monday and Mode Carbon lip, diffusor and spoiler go on Tues.

Roswell

Looking sweet Derek!! Good job on the front spacers, they look nicely flush!

The rear still look a bit sunk in don't u think? The H&R drop will make them 100x better too.

m3equals333

thanks, Meng...I agree on the backs, I am just afraid of rubbing with the 275's on spacers...if I didn't live on a mountain with varying height roads and wear angles, I would be all for a drop, but I don't think it would be wise lol. what do u think about 10mm spacers on the back?

Roswell

Ur not dropping ur car? Hummm, no spacers looks better then. Lol

10mm rear is perfect, but u will rub with 275/30.

m3equals333

darn...I guess ya gotta give a little to take a little...the rear tires are a tad sunk vs the front, but I won't give up the rear 275's haha

Mort

Just try your 10mm spacers from the front to see how it goes on the rear. If it doesn't rub then get some 10 or 12 mm for the front.

Roswell

^^ Mort is the man!! Derek, u should try it before u buy more spacers.
