Attention Phoenix Members looking for tires or rims..

I just got 17" for my E320, and looking to get rid of my 4200 mile old 16" rims with OEM French Rubber..

$500 obo...

If you need new tires soon, you'll spend more than $900 for them... here are a set with 4200 miles AND rims for about 1/2!

PM ME

Oh, oh, I want them! Just kidding. Good luck. I wish tires for my car could be had for $500. I would bet there is a good market in cold climates for use as snow tire wheels.

I was thinking the exact same thing. If I still lived in Minnesota, I'd want them.

Try ebay, that's where I've sold all my stock truck rims/tires in the past. Fedex shipping and off they go.

I don't get it, do you guys think I'm selling winter tires?

I have Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus on those rims... I think they're all season.

Anyway.. Though I'd try the local route and save the hassle and cost of shipping. I'll have them for a while, as I'm not going to rush out and put them on ebay just yet..

Nope, it's the wheels we'd be interested in if we lived in a cold climate. You put something like Pirelli Winter 190's on those wheels and when winter comes you take off the summer wheels and put on the winter wheels. The Mercedes dealer in Minnesota would keep the wheels for you and swap them spring and fall.

I see, you mean as a spare set... ok..

My thing is this... if you're current E's tires are close to end of life.. you'll face a $700-800 cost in putting new rubber on them, and you'll still be stuck with your 2-3 year old rims (which I'm sure while well kept, are nevertheless worn a bit)..

This way, you'll get the tires (4200 miles) and the rims (3 months old) for less than $500... but if you just got new rubber recently, I'm just peeing in the wind!

btw.... I like that "dimes" .. LOL!

CE750, you will likely get more money for the rims if you are willing to sell them to someone who wants the rims to mount a set of winter tires on the rims.

One thing to consider. Keep the spare set of 16 inch rims/tires. If you take long road trips, you can put one 16 inch tire/rim in the spare tire wheel well and eliminate the compact spare. When you sell the car, you put the pristine 16 inchers back on the car.

Full size spare

Many W211's can't use the 16 inch rims because of brake caliper clearance issues. Your E 320 can use them. See this thread to see pictures.
