Feeler - Like New 19" Monoblock VI Replicas w/ tires; staggered
Hey guys...
Just throwing this out there to see what kind of response I'll get.
Brabus Monoblock VI Replicas:
AB-Eintz Type 13 Wheels
Hankook Ventus Sport K104 tires (literally 99% treadwear left on all tires)
F - 8.5x19 235/35/19
R - 9.5x19 265/35/19
They are currently on my SLK320 Sport. I've had the wheels for approximately 1 month. They are in "LIKE NEW" condition. No scratches, curb-rashes, and all perfectly "round." Thinking of going down to 18's or even stocks to get back whatever ride quality the SLK's had to begin with (not all that much IMHO).
Anyway, I'm looking to get $1,800 for them, OBO. Local buyers only pls (unless you REALLY want them and convince me to have them shipped, you're paying). I'm located in good 'ole Southern California (Pasadena to be exact). I'll try posting pics of my car and the actual wheels tomorrow. I've attached pics of wheels below.
Please email me w/ any offers.
Thanks for looking!

Anyway, for those that might be interested, I left the offer at "OBO." So obviously, $1800 is not my final price. I am willing to negotiate, but that is the starting point.
And let's be reasonable here. I'm not talking about wheels and tires 1 year old, we're talking about wheels and tires 1 MONTH old. So obviously I'm looking to save someone some money compared to buying new, while avoiding totally losing out on my original purchase price.
I hope you guys can appreciate where I'm coming from...
So let's move on, shall we?

I had someone inquire about purchasing my tires, so I am considering just selling the wheels. Email me or PM me to negotiate a price. I assume you'll want these wheels shipped, unless you just happen to be coming around my part of town sometime soon??? If we are talking shipping the wheels, you of course will be responsible for shipping & handling costs.
Anyway, hit me up w/ an email or PM, and we'll talk...
Thanks!

Hey everyone...
I've decided to throw in a set of Gorilla tuner lug bolts (chrome) w/ the wheels (20 bolts + 1 bolt key).
As many of you may already know, these wheels (authentic or replica) have an issue w/ lugs going in too deep into the REAR brake drums and ultimately rub against some emergency brake springs, making an annoying (and loud) ticking noise (verified no damage done to my e-brakes). Most shops just take regular lug bolts and shave them down so they will be short enough to keep them from hitting the e-brake springs. I've been able to find these lug bolts, made by Gorilla, that are a perfect fit. Saving you the trouble of having to shave down regular lug bolts.
Anyway, they cost me $45+tax. I'll throw them in along w/ a set of security lug bolts (brand new; unopened). Unfortunately, if you decide to use the security lug bolts, 2 of them will have to be shaved down to accomodate the rear wheels.
And just to reinforce the point, I am willing to negotiate on the price. Please feel free to contact me to discuss.
Thanks again everyone!

Can you tell me what the offsets are for your wheels? Are they also 19" staggered like mine? Just wanna know so I can tell ppl whether or not mine will be a straight fit w/ CLKs also.
Anyway, thanks for your help bro.

yes, they are the staggered set up. 19X8.5 front and 19X9.5 rear. I believe the SLK rims will bolt right onto the W208 CLK's without any problem at all!
good luck selling them.
