I throw in the lugs and Mercedes wheel locks. $600 plus shipping or you can pick them up locally. Upstate SC. Any interest, let me know.

citizensane

how about posting photo/s?

mazzojo

They are the ones in the picture of my car. Will post more today. I just haven't had the time but I wanted to get up what I had asap. Hadn't taken them off yet. Just did that yesterday. I actually got new tires as well. They wanted $200 to just switch them so I was like well in the long run it will be cheaper even though the cost is more up front now. I'll get the pics on today.

mazzojo

These are as good as I could get today. Wasn't able to get them cleaned up as planned. will get more when i get them cleaned up good.

kaetamer

Willing to break up the set? I need a front.

mazzojo

Not quite yet as I just got them on for sale but if it takes a couple more weeks I will certainly entertain the idea. Do you need the tire also? If I decide to I will let you know.

mazzojo

Also tires are for sale so if anyone wants the whole set mounted with No TPMS I'll take $800 for all of it as you see here.

kaetamer

Thanks for considering selling just a front. Don't need the tire.

mazzojo

If you need it sooner, check out ebay. There are a few on there for sale. Not sure what is wrong with yours but check with your MB dealer. They probably have a wheel guy they sub to that fixes them almost like new and may be cheaper. I know on my old E class I had one fixed of curb rash for less than $100 and you couldn't even tell it.

kaetamer

Appreciate the advice. Tried the eBay route twice. Both rims were out of round. Damage to my rim can't be repaired says MB and the rim guy they recommended. Need replacement.

citizensane

What brand--model--sizes on the tires? Do they also have about 10K miles on them?
Any road noise? (feathering--cupping etc)

mazzojo

Tires are Pirelli P Zero. Used, great shape. Only 10K miles on the tires and wheels. They came on the car when new. Plenty of tread left. Front tires are P255/35R19 and Rear Tires are P285/30R19. There is one rear tire that has slightly less mileage because it had to be replaced after a couple of thousand miles. The car wasn't used as a daily driver until recently and apparently had got a screw in it and I didn't know it. Came back to the mountain house to find that it was flat and had been flat for a few months with all the weight on it and was any good so had to replace it. The Pirelli's tend to have some road noise as they are a performance summer tire. I went to Michelin pilot sport a/s 3's to reduce on the noise a bit as it's an all season performance tire when i put the new rims on. No feathering or cupping. Just normal wear.

I'd take the set up--EXCEPT--I "think" I've bought a set of forged twin spoke 19" from an Ebay seller in Germany. However, he's not communicating with me as to tracking info
But I have to wait until early June (if they don't show up) to get my money back on the ebay guarantee program
So--don't wait on me--but I will keep this in mind and check back later
thanks Dave

mazzojo

No problem man. If I still have them we will try and work something out. Where in the US are you located? I'm in upstate SC.

I have the same wheels on my 2012 launch edition. If you are unable to sell the full set, I would love to take a front wheel from you (without the tire). I live in Michigan, so just let me know how much for the wheel and shipping and I will promptly send the payment to you (whatever method you choose).

Ernest7878

I think your wheels are the same as mine . . .




Not sure if this can be repaired

citizensane

Mazzojo--
How do you rate Mich Pilot sports you just put on? I am debating between those and the all season Conti's once my 19" twin spokes arrive (IF they ever arrive)
I am getting mixed info on one vs the other.
Road noise is a big issue for me--and I have learned that tires can be very troublesome on our model---fast tread wear and feathering/cupping more than normal/expected
thanks Dave

TNTim

You would need to get it refinished as the Launch Editions are 'Charcoal Grey', not silver. I need a front for my Launch Edition and I'm having a hard time finding one

Ernest7878

Thanks TNTim! Much appreciated! I totally missed that and would have been disappointed if I were to buy them.

mazzojo

Hey man, yeah those look like they can be repaired. Ask you MB dealer who they use. Good luck. Great looking ride man.

mazzojo

Hey buddy. These Mich Pilots are awesome. I've driven it a few days now. So much quieter than the Pireli's. Love them. I debated about the Conti's too but I've had conti's on my other MB's and they were good but never seemed to last as long as Mich's on other cars I had. They ride great and are smooth plus 45K mile warranty you can't go wrong. I highly recommend them.

kaetamer

The 45k mile warranty only applies to the fronts, the rears (the ones more likely to wear quickly) only carry half the warranty. Similar to other staggered set ups.

mazzojo

Oh.. well, I didn't see that. They have the same tread wear but still better than no mileage warranty. I guess that's because people generally with the set up don't exactly accelerate gently with these engines, but I drive normal. every now and then I'll give it some gas but normally i drive it like I drove my E Class so most likely will last about the same for me. I have yet to break traction in it and spin them.

citizensane

tread wear warranty?
Maybe I better go back and look at the fine print--BUT--What about wear due to misalignment etc?
Aren't there so many exceptions to a tire warranty that same are rendered virtually worthless?
