AMG rims from Ebay store - is it good ?

Hello everybody.

I value your opinion and would like to know if anybody bought aftermarket AMG wheels from this store :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-x-...Q5fAccessories

Does it worth or not ?
Any comments or suggestion greatly appreciated

I bought the same style wheels on E-bay but from another vendor. Here are
some IMPORTANT tips: Look down in the listing to see the vendor: EuroTech
Luxury Wheels. Google that name to get an idea on whether you want to deal
with those people. Then try this seller : getyourwheels. I am very satisfied
with them. Also they sell cast replicas, not couterfeit AMGs. Note that the
counterfeit have a little AMG tag on the wheel just like the original, while the
replicas don't.
Do some research before you pay!

Wow...thanks for your tip....So simple, I got it from google, there is no way I will buy rims from those guys.
Silly me.
Thanks.
BTW..one question..what do you do with tire presure sensors...where did you buy them from. i saw Tire Rack selling them..are they good ?
Thanks.

Dima.

I'm leasing my car, so I put original rims and tires in my garage and put'em back on winter time or when it's time to return my car.
I'm sure you can sell it, if you don't neeed them, but the price will be...hmm...low..

Good luck.

I asked my dealer to sell my "take offs" for me two months ago, but no
interest so far. I will have to take them back and put in my garage soon.
As for winter tires, consider the Pilot Sport AS plus. I really like those tires
and have used them all year on all my rear drive Benzs since 2003.
The climate here in Toronto is mild enough that they are more than
sufficient. And the few times they would not have done the job, the problem
would have been the car belly flopping on the snow, not by the tires.

I used staggered sizes: F - 245/35 19 R - 275/30 19. I am very pleased
with this set up, but it is quite a bit harder riding than stock, so if you are
thinking of lowering the E coupe (whenever Eibach or H&R bring out their
lowering springs) you should consider that combined effect.
