Who wants some tires/wheels

All right. Here goes. I attempted to sell my OEM wheels and tires from my CL600 on eBay. Got BS bids, so it ran out. Basically, people were trying to steal it from me.

So here's my thought. These things are clogging up my parts dept guy's office and he's begging me to get rid of them.

If I'm going to let someone steal them from me, I'd rather it be the friends and family on here.

Here's my offer. I have four brand new OEM wheels and tires for a CL600. I think they're 18", but whatever you see on the website or a brochure for the CL600 are these. There are no miles on them, since I bought AMG 20" wheels and tires for my car (they look better).

I don't have pictures, but if you need them I won't be able to get any for a couple of weeks. The tires are in perfect condition.

But I'm willing to send them to you for the cost of shipping PLUS some cool piece of M-B, BMW or Porsche schwag. I don't mean something I can buy from a catalogue, but something truly cool and unique. So tell your friends who have ugly wheels on their M-B. With the right spacers, they can have $2000 wheels PLUS conti z-rated tires (I think, but again, check the MB website for sure) for only some cool schwag and about $200 for shipping.

So don't send me an email asking me to describe the thing. I don't have a clue, since I can't see them. Don't offer money, I've got more money than I have good sense. I want something unique plus the shipping cost.

If you're going to offer your gorgeous girlfriend for the evening, that would be nice, very creative, but my fiancee will be ticked off, so it wouldn't work out so well. Let's stick with the schwag plus shipping costs.

Oh yeah, you better convince me you're going to use this product, because if you're going to re-sell it, I'd be pretty disappointed that someone takes advantage of my kindness here.

Now if you think I'm nuts, I did this on the Audi board once. I got a ton of great and creative emails.

OK, so I'm not selling this. Just trading for some interest schwag. By the way, the quanitity of schwag is nearly as important as the quality. LOL.

Don't send emails to this system. I never check. Send them to orangemarlin@mac.com. That works better for me.

Now help me get rid of these wheels/tires.

Thanks.
