Anybody got good or bad experience on buying wheels from this seller on eBay. They're pretty big apparently and kinda cheap.

I just bought some wheels from this guy and I think they are better than the pictues I'll have to get some good up close pics myself.

Man they look so classy.... I had a couple of styles in mind but you made me think again. Dammit.

I'm still struggling between getting comfortable and good looking 18"s or eye catching-but-harder-ride 19"s. I think the black 19" Brabus replica will look really good on my black CLK but I'm worried it might be too much too look at. I'm a business consultant and need to meet with clients in a serious manner often and I don't want to give them an impression that I'm too playful. But yours looks great. Thinking now...

Yeah could you post some pictures with them on your car as well?

I'll try to get a better picture this weekend if I can get some sunshine.

gorgeous! they balance ok? any quality concerns? (I've heard some of the knockoff wheels are tough to balance). Thanks

Here are some better pics! I actually like them better then the C63 wheels they resemble. The finish is great as well. After the wheels are forged they are powerder coated, the face is machined and then clearcoated.







The spots are just from water. They were absolutely perfect when I got them. Packing was top notch and I had them in no time.

thebender what are your offsets and tire sizes all the way around and do you plan on lowering it?

They look even better with the car. Great job. Did you get the tires with the rims together from the same company or you bought them somewhere else? What was the final cost if you don't mind me asking?

Also is that a radar detector on top of the car? Thanks.

I think the offset is 25mm on these. They have something like 43mm as well in this same wheel. With 25mm the front wheels are flush with the fender. The rears may need a space if I want them flush. The MB caps came with the wheels free as well as very nice valve stems. I bought chrome lug nuts from the same place because they use a cone shaped head instead of a rounded head like the ones that were on there. I bought the tiers seperately however you may be able to get them mounted and ready to go from the same place as the wheels. The round thing on the roof is a magnet mount satellite radio antenna. I got the car with SIRUS radio and it still seems to work 6 months later. I wonder how long this will last
