Went from OEM 16' E420 wheels to OEM 16' S500 chrome wheels. No upsize, just plain and simple. Keep it simple stupid!!

Nope. Same lugs. I did have a slight inner front wheel rub on the suspension only when turning to the right. So I bought two 1/8 inch spacers and that fixed that, one on each side. Total wheel upgrade: $350.00 for the wheels and shipping from LA to Charlotte, $80.00 bucks to have my tires mounted on these wheels and $15.00 for the two spacers. Not a bad cosmetic upgrade for $445.00 in my opinion.
Oh, yea. The tires that were on these wheels were 225/60/16's. I put my 215/55/16 tires on them and they fit perfect! No speedo change at all.
Most pilots are cheap anyway!!

A closer look for comparison purposes:

New Wheels: https://mbworld.org/forums/attachmen...1&d=1174177280
Not racey just a soft classic look. An inexpensive way to put chromes on.

That was part of the sales job I used on my wife. 
I think she has forgotten that part for now but she'll remember one of these days. "Say Honey, how much did you get for your old wheels anyway?" I can hear it now.......... 
How much are they worth? Kinda rashed-up. They look good from 20 feet away. BUT they are worth something to somebody. Any ideas?
