The funny thing is, after close inspection of my wheels. None have that many weights on it. That picture was taken at the dealer before i got the car since it was shipped outta state. I am going to change the photos now.

Listening to the community vs idiots are 2 different things. Thanks, but i will take my chances, i realized mbworld is only a very small % of the buyers out there.

Don't want to start any personal attacks here, like you just did, since it's against rules of the forum, but your asking price for the wheels and your posts above clearly indicate your below average IQ level.

Good luck with the wheels.

c55 wheels

I think what your asking is fair if thats with tires. Wish you were selling these last July cause thats what I paid for for just the wheels and it took 3 months of waiting before getting them. Good Luck on the sale.

I agree, jimdy. It may not be drop-dead steal on the price that low-ballers like to cruise for on Ebay, but then again, it's not a rip off either. I would challenge you in the gallery to point me to practically new AMG rims in that size, for much less than $400 each. Tires being offered sounds reasonable at $100 each. All told, $1900 far from an insulting asking price.

its not necessarily bad... as long as it can be balanced, then the wheel is fine...

you would just assume that the AMG arm of MB would make a better wheel where it should already be fairly balanced...

But, we can't put all the blame on the wheel, as tires can cause a wheel to be off balanced (but its usually the wheel's fault)
