What is this rim?

Hello,

As the title says, what is it? This is 17" AMG rim. Is this pretty light? Can this look good on my w124 e320??
Any advice?

Thanks

How much would you pay for these? The condition of the rims are so so.

Well, I have to change 4 tires because they are bold. Since I need to change them, I am thinking to upgrade the rims...if the tires are all pretty brand new, then $400 is kind of good deal?

It's all about what you're willing to pay for them bro. They look like they need to be refinished so keep that into account too.

I've been quoted 150$ per rim to refinish a set of rims I have. For that price, I'd rather save up and get some light O.Z rims or something.

$150 seems a little high...I got quoted $75/rim to refinish at one place. Just shop around and see what you can find.

Well, since the tires are brand new, I think $400 is not bad. As long as they hold air, I can wait for refinishing.

Hum...where did you get brand new 17" rims and tires for $370? Are they amg?
I asked the seller and he said they look dirty on pictures. No bent and all straight. Only some scratches and slight curb rashes. Brand new yokohama tires. Front is 225/45/17 and rear is 245/40/17.
He is asking for $450 but if I can get them for $350, maybe good deal? He is selling 5 of them for $450.
And those tire sizes are correct?

$350 - $450 sounds good.

Audi rims will not fit. Bolt pattern ok, not safe as the centers are too large. Must be hubcentric, don't listen to anyone who says different - let them risk their own lives.

PS if you search there is a ton of info on wheels and offsets.

I contacted the seller and asked the expiration date of the tires and price, he said they are sold.

I have replicas of those wheels on my car by Moven which you can find here:

http://www.madautosports.com/product...TOKEN=43518757

As you can see they cost around $400 a piece with the chrome before shipping

Great wheels, i am actually going to be selling mine within the month

One of the wheels was bent and cracked really bad on a 6 inch deep pothole while going 60 which is why i am getting new wheels so there are only 3 wheels, one of which has major chrome chipping but none of them are bent and they all hold air so if you, or anyone else is interested let me know, i will be letting the survivors go pretty cheap

They are 18x8.5 with a 35mm offset and i run 225/40 tires on all 4 corners with no rubbing on my car which is lowered

I bought brand new genuine ones for $395 Cdn each, two years ago.

At that time, $395 Canadian = $325 US dollars.

You will find good deals on lightly used wheels.
