Insane pricing on 20" Tyndarides and 19" Aldhanab wheels. Who cares if they are for '07-'08 GLs!!!!!

Ordered a set of the Tyndarides so we'll see what I get for $127/wheel!

Just to the wheels last week so I haven't ordered tires yet. I still can't believe they are only $127 a piece!!! They look awesome!

From the research I've done, I'm probably going to go with 285/50/20 tires as oppposed to the stock size. More tires come in that size etc. Gonna go with the Hankook suv tires I think!

I have 21" OEM wheels that I use in the summer and will use these in the winter. I'm then gonna sell the 19" wheels I have now!

I was looking to buy a set from a different seller at a similar price for winter tires and was told after multiple calls to him that they were reps. No one is selling OEM wheels for 120 bucks each. Use your brain.

Then I guess I can sue for false advertising. There is a text banner up top that reads "
Genuine Mercedes GL-Class Alloy Wheels at discount price!

I just spoke to them. They say they are brand new OEM MB wheels, exact same as if we were to buy them from the dealership with serial numbers and all. Style is not for me, but just seeking the truth. Post a link to the other website where you saw them being sold as reps. I have no axe to grind.

dealerfit.com is the online parts store for a St. Louis area automotive group that includes a Mercedes dealership. I can't remember which one. They only sell OEM parts. It would be pretty foolish for a Mercedes dealership to falsely advertise I would think.

Got mine as well (a while ago) - haven't mounted them with tires yet - but they are definitely OEM - and the place where we are buying them from is a mercedes dealer!

I think they are at the price they are because they are discontinued and this style is no longer made. When I posted the link I knew there would be the folks who just didn't believe it - oh well - not gonna waste time convincing people, but I'm glad someone else jumped on the deal as well!

u r right. waste of our time convincing. but posted my pics, so others will be benefitted if they want to buy as well.

BTW, what tires you bought and from where?. Me too also inclined on putting 285/50/20. saw the below from tire rack

Goodyear Eagle GT II (Performance All-Season) $118 a tyre

Gonna go with the Hankook rh07. I put their tires on my 911 this spring and I'm a believer!!! (though they were the evo 12 tires) - These seem to get pretty good review and some have put the 19" tires on with good results.

a little bit more expensive, but still seems like a pretty good deal..

they bumped the price to $568 a piece for 20" wheels. If anyone still want to grab 19" wheels they still have them for $130.

I mounted mine about a month ago and they are great. Ordered 285/50/20 Yoko Parada tires http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes

Can't believe I got a set of OEM 20" wheels and tires for ~$1000 combined!
