need 4 wheels
Dealer just told me 2 wheels were bent, and the rears slightly. Since the wheels have a couple of scratches, I thought about just buying a chromed set on Ebay. Unfortunately every set I see has the 2 front wheels at 8", and the rear at 8.5 or 9. Since my car is 4Matic, I assume the ones I have now are all the same width. I guess I know the answer to my question, but I would assume that 8 and 8.5 cannot be rotated. I wonder why those wheel exchange places have all of those ebay sets being different sizes.
Also, any experience with the exchanges? I hope the wheels I get are good and round. Any other options?
Thanks.

Speaking of AMG wheels. I was looking at replacing the rears (staggered setup) with 2 of the same size as fronts to allow tire rotation for better wear. Dealer quoted $1552 + tax for each wheel and that price is without tires.
I decided to keep what I have, $3100 is about 3 sets of tires or about 100,000 miles of driving.

2013 E350 Wagon, prev 2005 ML 500 SE
complete new set
I'm in St. Paul and have a complete set of brand new wheels/ tires / TPSM monitors. I see you're in WI.
I was worried that my 18" AMG wheels tires on my E350 wagon would ride too rough so purchased a set of 17". My 18" ride fine so don't need the set.
Tires are Conti Extreme Contact DWS, their ultra high performance all season tire which is very highly rated.
The wheels are MB Alpina. MB is a well known aftermarket company, not Mercedes Benz.
I have the genuine Mercedes TPSM 433 Mhz pressure sensors installed.
Wheels were just under $500.
Tires were just under $700.
MB sensors were $320
Labor was ??
I've got $1500 + into them and would like to get $1100 or close.
I would think your wheels/tires/sensors would be worth fair amount to a wheel rebuilder/reseller/ craigslist person.
I'll try to attach pics.
