FS: AMG 17" Thin Spoke, Machined Lip, Rims with Goodyear F1's
Set of four (4) factory OEM Mercedes AMG thin-spoke wheels (with machined lip) with nearly new Goodyear F1 GS-D3 tires. Wheels are 17"x7.5 front with 225-45ZR17 and 17"x8.5 rear with 245-40ZR17. Wheels have NO curb rash, or fixed damage. These fit all CLK 's, SLK's, E's and C class. Center caps are included.
The tires were mounted by a factory dealer (Knauz) using factory weights. That alone cost $300. Tires have less 2,000 miles from a C240. $1,250 (a bargain compared to eBay listings). I'll help with shipping. |
wow mounting cost you $300...thats a looot! nice wheels though
|
sorry buddy... weights are weights... they are all the same. overpaying for 17" tire install is crazy...
most places will do mount & balance for free... or $15 a wheel at max.... |
wow so weights usually cost that much?? (i've never had to buy any)

adding weights to the wheels is never a good sign.... less is better
a premium made wheel should require almost no weights... imperfections in the wheel and/or tire will require weights to balance it off... so, to say that you had to pay $300 for weights, how much weights are we talking? couple pounds per wheel? |
Tough group. The description states 'tires were mounted by factory dealer using factory weights' which cost $300. Clearly this charge was not just for the weights.
I've experienced tire mounting and balancing by the 30min. in and out tire shops. Acceptable work for a Yugo. Did I overpay? That depends - the Michelins were removed, the rims were scrubbed clean to remove any debris, the Goodyears were mounted on a MB factory authorized mounting and balancing machine approved for AMG rims. The rims were not scored in any fashion - the tires do not lose air. Weights are not just weights - look carefully at IAM vs. OES wheel weights - you'll see a difference. Are the wheels priced fair? - I'd say they are considering eBay has them for considerably more money. |

I am have considered, for some time, getting a used balancer and doing the work myself. I know of several people on the forums that do this. |
