Mercedes-Benz SL500 1997 - 2002
Description:

Greetings all,

I'm looking to pick up a set of used R230 SL500/SL600/SL55 etc. rims. I'm looking for the staggered set of 8.5x18" fronts, 9.5x18" rear. I'm planning on sliding these onto my W210 E55.

The better condition, the better it is for me, of course.

There's several sets on Fleabay, but I'd rather buy from a member here.

Shipping would be to Victoria, BC, Canada, but it shouldn't be an issue. Worst case scenario, I can probably work out some PO box at the border sort of deal and we can do it that way.

Most sets seem to be listed on Ebay at $1000 and they sit there. I'd be happy to pay around that same price and that would hopefully cover shipping, as well, but I'm negotiable.

If you're also thinking, "why don't I just buy the set of wheels off Ebay for you and then ship them to you," that's something we could work out as well, if you want to just make some money on arbitrage. 

Pics for attention.

Let me know what you think!

why not go for the original Monoblock's? I bought a set of original mint MB last year for $2200 and what you see for $1000 almost always needs work hence they sit there. I am in the process of restoring the current set of MB's and the price is anywhere from $650 to $1000 to refinish them.

I have Monoblocks already - I want to have two sets of wheels to change the look up

Plus, for here, I want to have a summer set vs. a spring/fall set that's mud/snow rated in case the temperature dips below freezing.

These cars are prone to rust easily, so be careful driving it in snow. Has your shop spotted any rust spots yet?

Not going to drive it in the snow, it's just that here, the temperature dips in the morning during the earlier fall to freezing, and then warms up to 70 during the day, and I just want to be safe during those cold morning drives

Shop hasn't spotted any rust as of yet

I'll update the build post!
