2014 E350 4M Diamond Silver
Here is some confusion again, guys. Please help me out. TreSean1 helped me a lot with these deals; It is like, he gave me too many options, lol.
I owe you one bro He is like my right hand man when it comes to cars.
1. Staggered OEM AMG 18's, with 70% tread on them. no visible curb rashes, for 800 or less USD. 200 miles away, but no problem, as I go to Atlanta to my nephew's place anyway.
2. Brand new AMG replica, 19" (forum member), funnily pretty good combination, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), and close to my car's color(pics are deceiving a bit) for $435+$65(for TPMS)+ tires(800-1000)[found 245/40/R19 brand new for 650$; took off from new Chevy malibu; Conti ProContact TX non-run flats), same city.
3. NON_Staggered 18X8.5 AMG OEM(not gold, silver only), with "much tread left" for asking price $1600; also, seller didn't respond to my email about availability.
These wheels are around 400miles away; I might go to virginia beach in a couple weeks, for a normal leisure weekend, so, I may pick up at that time; but, definitely not 1600.
4. From the forum member, 18 AMG OEM(non-staggered), 794 model, with only 900miles on the new tires; he recently purchased the car(CPO) and he upgraded to a different wheels. Asking 2000 and just didn't respond yet(may be long weekend effect); and don't know where he is from.(Hopefully from Charlotte or around 200 miles or less).
Thanks for the patience.

I think 2nd place would be the replica AMG wheels, if the sporty aggressive look is what you are going for. But since you have the Luxury model, you get my vote for Option 1/3 (style 791)...it'll give you that sporty, yet clean & sophisticated look I think you are going for.

Tires may cost close to $1,000 with tax and everything depending on what you get. Real OEM AMG wheels are not cheap and both the 791 and 794 are well built to hold up to punishment(potholes). Obviously, all of these sellers are at asking prices and you can negotiate like anything else until you feel comfortable. What size are those repops? I didn't see it listed anywhere and they look huuuuuge!

Nice. They look so much better than your current stock 17. I've seen so many failures with cheap Chinese knockoffs.

1. They are replicas (no warranty as of now, also, not sure about the brand)
2. They are 19s with lot of pot holes/under construction roads in Charlotte area(basically East coast).
3. Cost: wheels are 435 only, but including tires, it'll come up to 1500$; which doesn't justify, as I have more than 80% tread on my current 17s and Am in no rush. Also, when compared to the other AMG option - these 19 didn't stood a chance.

Unfortunately Not true. I have uploaded a picture with a close shot of the rim, please check it out.
The alphabet 'A' looks different; that's all and the logo will be impressed on the spokes; not the Rim Lip.
I didn't even notice the word 'reps' in the title, until tresean1 pointed out. lol

Really like option number 2 , 19s amg wheels.. replicas.
but they looked the best.
but if you left with 1 or 3 option. Id go for 1.
Or
just go to a wheel shop , and get yourself Niche wheels , for ~1300 with tires and unique design , brand new also...and be a happy camper.
dont overthink this , its a pretty simple choice.
