Hello,
I understand that in Europe, it is fairly easy for MB customers to order a set of winter wheels for their vehicles, including the G-Klasse.
However, I am struggling to find any options for getting a set of the A4654010900 wheels with the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 winter tires MO1 already installed with the Tire pressure sensors and other bits (likely excluding the MB logo caps).
Importing them is not cheap, but seemed reasonable until US customs changes this year. Prevailing wisdoms calls for assembling a set "locally," but even the wheels are hard to find in the country. Any ideas?

Finding that complete OEM winter set in the US is always a nightmare. They just don't import many.
Your best bet is to forget the exact part number and look for a used set from a parts-out G-Wagen. Check with specialized Mercedes dismantlers like "G-Wagen Parts" or "Eurocharged US." They often have take-off wheels.
Otherwise, just buy the Michelin Alpin 5 tires here and mount them on a set of aftermarket wheels that fit the W463. It's far easier and often cheaper than the OEM hunt.
Sadly, used wheels aren't really an option for me.
Alloy Wheels Direct doesn't have those wheels (or any of the new wheels designed for the W465). I'm referring to 465-401-09-00-7269/A4654010900, which was a new wheel that debuted on the new generation.
They do offer the 20" W463 carryover Trail Wheels, but I already have those on the vehicle. Do they even have all the additional stems and sensors installed? Or will I need to source those myself?
I know many Canadian dealers will sell the wheel sets for overall reasonable prices, but again, Importing them will immediately make the cost unfeasible.

I just swap winter tires on the same set of wheels. They store them for me at the dealership.
I have a set I bought from Germany that I’d be interested to sell. Had these on my truck for 2 winters.
They are the OEM 22’s cross spoke wheels in polished finish with Continental TS850P tires. See attached photos. Feel free to PM for more info, I’m located in Detroit. Willing to sell locally or ship if needed.
