Thumbs up Chrome Brabus Monotype Rims

I'm looking to sell my 2003 E500 soon, and want to bring it back to stock before trading in. I have a staggerd set of 18" BRABUS Monotype Chrome rims wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires with 85% treadlife left. The receipt on the set with $1000 in rubber was $6000.

What do you think is a fair asking price on the set?

Thank you for your opinions!

2005 E500 with 'some' BRABUS upgrades
As far as a fair asking price..

$1000-13/1400 for your 18's. Considering how much 19 and 20 inch BRABUS 'used' wheels go for.

Good luck

Well this is my first post here, and I am a girl, but I know quite a bit about MB's. I would say 13-1500 easily if they are real Brabus rims.

With that being said, I think your car is GoRgEoUs! Those wheels are the best looking wheels I have ever seen on an E500 by far (and I have seen a lot here in CALI)! Too bad they aren't 20's. Absolutely stunning wheel/car combo!!

Well, that time has come, and I am parting with my lovely E. Thanks for all the kind comments thus far. I'm considering parting out the wheels/tires/TPMS before trading it in.

-Wheels came from Butler Tire, are chrome multi-piece ($5,000+)
-Tires are Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position with only 14,000 miles, have have been balanced 4 times ($1100)
-All 4 Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors replaced late last year ($1100)

Specs:
Authentic Brabus Monotype V in Chrome
Staggered setup 18x8.5 in front with 245/40/18
18x9.5 in the rear 275/35/18

The wheels are in excellent condition. No curb rash what so ever, and being a detailer, have always had a nice coat of sealant on them. Plus, I'm in Georgia, so we don't see salt in the winters. The tires are in excellent condition as well. They are rated as a 40,000 warrantied tire, but I've been hearing friends getting an easy 55-60k miles out of them. And then you get new TPMS' in each wheel, installed by RBM Mercedes here in Atlanta.

So as you can see, there is a lot invested in these shoes. I'm pricing these to move them, so the first $1500 plus shipping gets them. Will be shipped from Metro-Atlanta. Please let me know if you have any questions.
