fs: 18" AMG monoblocks
perfect...mounted once, but youll never be able to tell. staggered 18x8 front, and 18x8.5 rear. no tires... asking $1800, but fielding offers. these are the same wheels that come factory on the e55.

Anybody could get brand new monoblocks for that amount of money locally, you are way over priced.
Monoblock 18 x 8 $392.00
18 x 8.5 $ 415.00 each
Total Price for 4 new wheels at tires.com $ 1,614.00
Just so you get an idea, I sold my used and scratched monoblocks for $550.00 all 4 of them
Please don't take it the wrong way, not attacking you, just showing you reality.

I definitely agree with Pocholin. I was gonna post that too, but just didn't wanted to make someone offended.
I sold my AMG 17" with 50% remaining tires for $500 cash in person. 18" without tires... $1800?? You are the seller and make any price you want... but this is just to help you out... you will never find a buyer
The reasonable price would be a half of your cost, which is $900.00. IMHO

Regardless, your wheels are not new, they've been mounted and they been rotated, that's enought to consider them used, good luck selling them, you might want to try another place out of the internet to sell them because I don't think you'll be able to sell them for the price you are asking, at least not here, once again it is not an attack just a friendly comment.

I agree that the asking price is a little steep. Take it from someone who was shopping around for a used set of Monoblocks for the last 6 months. I wouldn't even look at any set over $1000. Even in perfect condition. I got lucky and found a good deal on a set of used 18" CHROME AMG Monoblocks staggered, 18 x 8 front and 18 x 9 rear. They were in near perfect condition, and came with the tires. Tires had to be replaced though because they were too small for my CLK.

edges due to mounting of new tires and each rim has a very few small scratches. I'm a picky type of person and if I would rate my wheels from a brand new rim; I would rate it a 6-7 for being six years old. Anyhow, I just got a set of 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 AMG 1 piece 5 spoke rims this weekend. The front tires are 245/40/18 and the rear are 275/35/18. I would need to get them all refinish
for about an extra $200.00 so that they would look brand new again. Now I'm thinking of selling my 17" Mono rims with whatever little tread are left since they are just sitting around occupying space in my living room. Or I could keep them and use them a winter tires. All I know is that I also have a brand new 17" Mono spare that I can't use if I ever have a flat since now I have 18". Now I'm going to have to get my brakes calipers painted since these 5 spokes rims shows my brakes compare to the mono which had hide them. If I plan on selling them then I will surly place pics of each rim.

pocholin,
Great idea, I forgot about that method of powder coating.
Any idea how much it would cost for all for all four calipers?
And where would you go doing something like this? Like
one place maybe an antique repair shop that does powder
coating on those iron chairs and stuff?
thanks and that transparent red looks awsome.
Is there a silver color that could be done as well?

Don't know who in Cali could do it, but you are right on the antique repair shop.
They offer all kinds of colors, and silver is one of he standards.
Ohh, and don't worrk, powder coating withstands the heat from the brakes just fine, I mention beccause a lot of people questioned this before I did it.

its called trasnparent candy apple red. I was very close to buying the whole powder coating kit. It does not cost that much at all and its fairly easy to do, the only thing is you need an air compressor. If you want really good results then u want to sand blasting kit which is like $200 more. but its worth it over all.
