What are stock c63 wheels worth?
I am thinking of getting new wheels, but was curious what I could sell my stock 18" wheels for? They have brand new delinte tires and tpms sensors. One wheel has minor curb rash. Any idea of what price I would get for them?

Those tires are garbage. Why anyone would ever put them on a C63 is way beyond me.
The rims are probably worth more WITHOUT the $h!tty tires, and shipping would be considerably cheaper.

I've seen the older, solid-spoke type listed for sale here for about $1500-$2000 (new take-offs with Pirelli P-Zeros IIRC). If one of yours is curbed, I'd estimate $1K - $1200 at the most. Try listing them and see what peope are willing to pay.

Probably better to try eBay and filter for 'sold' prices on C63 oem wheels.

Dealer that replaced one said they were listed on the net used at around a thousand to eleven hundred apiece for stock C63 rims.
Things change so look.
A lot of kids on west coast were buying and stealing them to put on C 250s etc or other models and they were scarce.

Er - presumably you mean $1000 - $1100 per SET. At $1K a wheel you have much better options available.

If you are in Philly an running this in winter, you must have winter tires... snow or no snow. Do not run on summers.
Save the rims for a winter setup with winter tires and change them yourself.

Running summer tires in cold/frigid temps can damage the tire.
I had a C63 7-spoke replaced by the dealership through insurance. List price was $1400 PER wheel.
That said, I bought a set for $1300 shipped with Cont 5p tires on here

I'm not far from you btw...
Summer tires have compounds designed for warmer temps and are stickier than all seasons in summer.
In winter, summer tires are harder and far less grippy which leads to less friction (think hockey puck vs pencil eraser).
If you look up a summer tire's specs it says not to use below 45 F.
I have a winter set but didnt change them yet for that cold snap last Nov. I had to emergency brake for a deer and we would have both been fine if I had 5 less feet of braking distance. I hit him. He died... Albeit very slowly and I had a broken bumper.
Having been through Basic/Advanced AMG training and 100% braking at least a hundred times, I know how quickly these cars can stop. Having those summers on at 30F, in a full on brake, felt like 60% brake.
I'll preach on this subject because most people don't realize how different the tires are and now I know how different they really are in an emergency.
And in even 1/4 inch of snow... Summers are completely undrivable. Would be stupid to even try.

I know summer tires are like hockey pucks when the temp drops below 45. However, I'm not sure if using them in sub-45 temp will cause damage to the tires. Can it be from the flexing of the stiffened side walls? Can someone shed some light on this?

Yes, some very soft compound tires will actually crack at low temperatures. Most R-comps for example have to be stored (never mind driven) at temperatues well above freezing.
