Take a look at the pictures and top one in the right hand column, is that Nevada Jack's?!

Damn, DeCeptak0n, that is a great find. It sure looks like one of NJ's pics.

Yes, three of them are my images. I sent an email indicating they were using my copyrighted images for commercial use without my permission. I indicated I wanted them removed or I will contact ebay.

Thanks for the find DeCeptakOn!

That was quick. They're gone. They're also using two pictures (the black GL550) from another eBay seller.

Quickest reaction I ever saw on ebay! The use of images from another seller is also a violation of ebay rules.

That guy is on crack if he thinks anyone will buy those wheels for that price!

I wonder if the ebay seller is the same guy who posted here a day or so ago about these tires for sale. Anyways, he did miss the clue train big time.

A quick question as I am new to the GL 'world'.

Is the seller correct when they state that these 21" AMG wheels will fit any GL? Does this also include the 320CDI?

Any help appreciated.

Shoul I summon our CSi guys from the E55 forum to track these lowlifes down? Just let me know.

MB Fanatic

Yes they will fit. Same offset. Just remember, the larger the rim's the crapier the gas mileage.

thebishman

If the rolling radius of the two different sets of wheels with the correct tyres are the same I'm not sure why gas mileage would be affected.

Yes the 21" wheels and tyres are wider, so there would be increased air resistance, (drag), but I would have thought this a very small factor, since the GL is not the most aerodynamic vehicle, even on its 18" wheel/tyre combo.

Also, the 21" wheels would be heavier perhaps than the factory 19"s, but once again the increased overall weight compared to the total weight of the vehicle is marginal.

Is there something I'm missing here?

No Problem Jackie boy! Beautiful pictures should be desecrated in such a manner

Wouldn't the larger footprint w/more pavement friction (not air drag) & that the extra weight of the wheels is unsprung make it more of an issue than just adding a few extra lbs? There's a reason why fuel-efficient vehicles don't come w/big rims.
