AMG Style I Wheels With Michelin Pilot Sport Tires
Wheel sizes are 18x8.5 ET 44 and 18.9.5 ET 46. That makes them a direct bolt-on for S Class (W220 and W221) and CL Class (C215) cars.
However because of the relatively high offset, you can use these wheels on many other Mercedes cars if you use spacers to reduce the offset. I have a chart that shows common offsets used on most recent Mercedes. PM me with your email address if you'd like a copy of that chart.
As you can see from the photos, the wheels are in very good condition with a smooth, glossy finish. They are not flawless, however. If you look closely you can see scratches on one wheel. Another has minor curb rash on the outside. On the inside edge several have scratches and one has some paint flaking.
Tires are Michelin Pilot Sports, 245/45R18 Y speed rating (186 MPH) and 275/40R18 Y speed rating (186 MPH). I measured 6/32 tread depth on two of the tires (60% of new tire depth) and 7/32 tread depth on the other two (70% of new tire depth).
I checked out all four tires and saw no blemishes or blisters. They are good to go for many thousands of miles.
This set would cost $3,000 + brand new. I'm looking for $1,000 + shipping or best offer.
I've posted pics of the fronts of all four wheels and the rear of the wheel with the paint flaking. PM me if you'd like to see higher resolution photos of the wheels and tires.
