Places to find Monoblock II's??

I've scowered ebay and craiglist for them and no luck.

Where else could I look for them?

I PM'd one guy (the thread about the 265 wheels fitting)...but after 4 days I've had no responses...so I've given up on those.

Other suggestions?

Thanks guys

I found a set for $600 with good tires and I think I'm gonna grab em this weekend! Fingers crossed!

I went with 17" as my logic is that depreciation on these wheels are close to nothing assuming no damage is done. After I put em on...If I still feel like 18" would look better I'll just keep my eyes open for a good deal -- buy em up and sell off the 17's for close for what I bought them for.

Seem reasonable?

found mine on craigslist locally but that was after 2 months of daily searching and going to see some bad examples. if the set you found is clean and 600 with tires, go for it!

Well the guy who I was dealin with fell through -- He forgot to mention they were replicas in the listing -.-

I like those staggered ones, but is that a reasonable price considering they have a little damage?

Take a look at these! I think that these might belong to Berti, not sure though. If they do belong to him, maybe you guys can work out some kind of a deal. Anyways, check it out!

Thanks for the link. A little out of my price range....

The website I posted above -- They have 18x9's for $229 each. I emailed and "indirectly" asked about the price as confirmation to make sure they aren't a mistake. If they aren't I'll start by buying them up.

$229 - good price for the real thing if "as new"

Not saying anything was wrong with your reps, just that the craigslist ad was for AMG's
