5 Spoke wheels for sale

Not a bad price. If I was keeping more of an oem look I would get these.

I guarantee those are the same knock-offs you can find on Ebay for half that price.

I don't know why but I like this wheel style for some reason.

That one particular wheel style (in Baltimore) isn't available as a rep for some reason. The other two S6* styles...those straight split 5's that WHPH has, or the tapered split 5's that I have...are both available as reps but nothing in that third raised single spoke style. Gotta go new, take off or refurb. I just completed a set of those for my car, piecemeal off Ebay, PITA.

They are brand new from mercedes. I contacted him. Now I can not confirm or deny if they are "hot" but they are 100% new oem wheels....lol

He said they are not refinished or refurbished either.

Hmm..too bad I can't use them.

I always buy new or take off only. That's a great price for those.

I don't need any more wheels. The next set I get is for my 600 with a more aggressive look once my kit is done and on. It's a good deal though. If I was a car part hoarder I would buy them just to have them for that price lol. I already have enough car stuff in my office that I need to get rid of that I have picked up along the way just because.

Random note: I am going to have my kit on by next Friday. I'm pretty excited about that!

Cool Jason is only a few hours away if he decides to get them!

Just having them all as a complete set for that money is worth it. They're really hard to find, especially the fronts. Its hard to believe these are NIB, since they cost over $5k new and it's not like they're take-offs, because those don't come in factory boxes. My guess is they're refurbs, and the way to tell is to examine the AMG stamp on the spoke. On a factory fresh wheel, the letter outlines will be very sharp and clear. On a refurb, the wheel will look fresh, but paint will have settled into the stamp making the edges softer and less distinct. A set of refurbs are fair at $1k to $1200.

I'm seriously considering doing the following upgrade, does anyone know if there is a lot of work associated with this and is it very expensive?

The kit is fairly inexpensive through Gary on this board. WHPH is getting his kit on Friday. I'm looking forward to finding out the cost of the paint & install....and how it turns out.

I'll have everything completed by next friday! Will post pics. Definitely worth it to change the look! In the picture thread, someone got theirs painted and installed it on their own. I'm sure it's not that hard..maybe I'll do that. :-)

Jason, you getting them? He'd probably take 1200 or 1300.

So, I just called him. They are literally brand new amg wheels, never been mounted before BUT, they are 20x9 all the way around....according to him, but he could be wrong and they could be staggered. He said come get them, he'll take 1200.00.

Someone drive and go get these wheels! It's a good price!

Can't be 20x9. The wheel was produced as a staggered set for the S & CL 63/65 at 8.5 front and 9.5 rear. The width is stamped along with the part number on the back of a spoke. Has anyone asked the seller how he came to be in possession of these?

8.5 Part # A22140133, 9.5 A22140134.

Yeah, he didnt sound to sure about that when I asked. I am pretty sure they are staggered but he doesn't know as he probably got the wheels...some alternate way and didn't but them to be used on a mercedes which he probably doesn't own but the wheels just fell in to his possession somehow.

Wait, painted? Do you mean the diffuser or do I need to change the rear bumper?

Oh you posted the pic of the facelift, I didn't realize you already have the amg package...you can just change the diffuser but I think it requires a little work from when I looked at when Mike did his as it wasnt a direct swap. He can give you some insight.

if you're keeping the exhaust stock get the S63 clone rear bumper kit from Gary. On the stock exhaust the tips are part of the rear bumper and not connected to the tailpipes, and I think the clone kits attach the same way.

I did an aftermarket exhaust that had its own tips welded on, so I just did the diffuser from Rock City.

Did a search, all I need to do since I have the amg sport package is order a s63/65 diffuser from the dealer using an actual s63/65 vin then get the tips and attach and done.

Wait! That's not true. So the S63 diffuser will snap in along the top as you'd expect. So far so good. Then you get to the bottom and the first problem becomes evident: the cut outs for the stock exhaust are a lot narrower than the new wide openings in the diffuser, which makes sense since the quad tips are wider. Then you'll see the next problem: the new wide openings expose huge chunks of the bumpers inner skeleton frame that the stock openings hid, and those chunks have to be cut out to make room for the new pipes to align with the new exhaust holes. This reduces the structural rigidity of the bumper. Lastly, on the bottom edge of the new diffuser are two receiver slots that no longer line up with the two tabs on the bottom of the bumper to lock in. Not even close, because the AMG S63 bumper itself is different, and has a different skeleton frame as well. So now you need to string up some bungee cords to secure the lower edge of the diffuser otherwise on the road it will lift up and pull itself off. Trust me, get Gary's kit.

Here's what you get once the original diffuser is off: That visible piece of inner structure to the right of the tip had to be hacked off on each side.
