Would you do this?

Is this advisable? I want to put these AMG replica on e500? All 4 with tires for $1000? Too good to be true in my opinion. Any caveat? Is this a bad idea?

Personally I think 8.5 front and 9.0 rear is a poor match.

But if you're asking a question about style, or about whether replicas are OK, that's a question only you can answer.

You know what they say.. You have so much riding on your tires..

I wouldn't trust knock offs while flying down the highway.

Take offs from dealer showroom? And they're ordering 5 more sets?

So let's see. The dealer takes off six sets of factory wheels. Then installs the knock-offs. Then decides to pass them along to this guy on e-bay?

Either the dealer is awfully dumb or . . .

not too good to be true bcs they're knockoffs (fakes) and like this guy said, I'd be surprised if these were "dealer takeoffs" :p

I read his feedback, not exactly a nice guy. Its how they handle adversity that is the true test of their business skills, this guy is not fairing so well.

I'd think ithey'll look great, but I'm not going to take my chances on this particular seller.
