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?

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 . . .

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.
