Does anyone know what the MSRP is for the new split 7 spoke wheels that are now standard for the 2009 S550?

I had the dealer install the new standard wheels for the 2009 S600 on my 4Matic at delivery and no longer need the originals.

Any idea on what a fair price would be for them should I sell? Thanks.

Any pix or hyperlinks that would show us what style this is? I'm not sure.

They just cant make a good wheel for a 600 can they????

Thanks for verifying what I thought.

No, they can't make a good looking wheel. They do pretty good on everything but the 600 I went onto the MBUSA website right after I made that post and I was afraid I might see something like this. The ones on the 2007 were even worse. I yanked those things off within 3 weeks and put a set of amgs on there. Now I'm looking at some wheels similar to what was on the 2006 CL500 that I had. Simple and clean , yet sporty.

Slightly OT, but not completely. Has anyone seen the new 20" forged AMG wheels for the 216/221 yet?

I like those much better. You're car looks great too. I like that color.

Thanks. Pewter was my pick because a couple of my past MBs were Pewter and I like the way the color appears slightly different in different sunlight.

I just thought that the S600 wheels were much more elegant than the 7 spoke. Not to mention that the 7 spoke wheels took an extra 30 minutes to clean each time I washed the car.
