Get the whole package from Discount Tires.
They will mount balance and get it to your door, probably less expensive then buying rims then getting tires locally mounted.

They have the proper equipment ( same for Tire Rack) and your rims will not be damaged during mounting

Not cheap though...
Some guy sold a set of tires w/ diamond finishes for $800, so I guess you CAN get them cheap, you just have to be lucky.

Not 2/6's...unless they were stolen. 2/6's are almost 800/ WHEEL without tires.

Rides look great guys.

Yesterday I just purchased a 1989 300e W124 4 door (brownish gold color).

I really like the look of the lower cladding your cars have on them, can that be retrofitted to a 1989? any ideas..

Its in really good shape, but Im also looking to upgrade it, getting the windows tinted tomorrow. got a whole new wood dash kit to put in this weekend..

Looking for headlamp upgrades, rear taillights and wheels, trying to make it look not like GRANNYS car..LOl..

I like 108.016's wheels

But I got these:



Mine are 17s but they go pretty good with my car and handle great.

If you get used wheels and they're not guaranteed to be straight,
Plan on $350 to straighten them.

I usually don't like the look. My personal exception are para military looking SUVs like Range Rovers or Gelaendewagens.

However... it is classic AMG to have the matching wheels.

And the winner is....

I just bought a set of these on Ebay, with virtually new Michelin Pilots....but they are the 17" version. I really like the look! I'll send a before and after pic.
