AMG Wheels on Ebay
Alright, now this is interesting...
I just spotted these on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...id=p2759.l1259
I have emailed the seller, says it is in Iceland, and asked was this a picture an actual picture of the wheels that are for sale. I actually have this same exact picture from a sale that was on Craigslist a month or so ago from an auto wheel shop in NY / NJ I don't remember.
Sweet Wheels ---- But it is interesting that this is the same picture - display rack and all, that I have saved on my computer....

Enzo, my Benzo
Have him prove that they are in his possession by writing something specific on a piece of paper and resting it on the wheels and have a few pics from diff angles of the paper to avoid photoshop fakes.

The plot thickens... Here is a set in NJ on Ebay that looks to be the ones that were on Craigslist awhile back, now shown mounted on a car... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCE...3A1|240%3A1318
I just have to ask this guy if these are the same wheels that were posted on craigslist with the picture that is now on the ebay listing from Iceland.

Just got a response from the guy in NJ. He sold the 1st set of wheels above to the guy in Iceland a few months ago. He confirmed they are the same wheels that were posted on Craigslist. May be reselling because they did not fit his car or trying to turn a profit. Shipping Cost to the states may make them cost prohibitive.

These are 2 separate sets of Rims. I spoke to the guy in NJ that has the 2nd set for sale. He actually sold the 1st set a few weeks back to the guy that now has them for sale on ebay.

Wow --- First set of wheels above have been stolen, ebay listing ended. From Seller: "Sorry to say, I went to my warehouse where I kept the wheels, somebody had broken into, and taken the wheels, including other stuff. Sorry for the trouble. So it is no longer availble." If anyone sees these wheels pop up for sale somewhere. let me know and I'll notify the seller.... Sad...

lots of cars
Dude, I had 3 sets of wheel stolen once. They where common wheels so it was hard to track them down. I hope he finds these because those are probably 1-100 sets around in that condition. Also the lips on those wheels are different than the other wheels in the picture so that makes them a little bit more rare.
