Stock wheel?
I just had my new wheels installed and am wondering what the stockers are worth. They are off an 05 E500 and have only 1400 miles on them.
I am wondering as I don't think I will need them anymore.
Will post pics of new wheels in the next day/2.
Thanks
Mike

Well there is a guy selling his on e-bay for 1,095. I have seen them go for less though.

I will give you an idea of price. I have two 2004 E320's which I have replaced with the 17" sport wheels. I am in the so cal area. I got the first set for $850 and tires had 3k on them, rims were perfect. Second set I got for $700 and tires had 8k on them. Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback. Mine too are the appearance wheels and only have 1400 miles on them. Still brand new without a scratch. Hoping to post pics tonight of new setup minus the lowering.
Going to try lowering the front end first with the washers. My buddy at a local dealership told me $800 to lower via airmatic - that is too much in my opinion. Also sounds kind of funky the way they do it. Said they put the car on the Star Diagnostics tool then bend one of the arms in a way that tricks the airmatic to bring the car down. Said it works great but I don't think it is worth $800 to manipulate what the car already has and only takes 1-2 hours max.
I need more choices. I may have to get ahold of Tbone for alt. metods.
