19" Inch Rims For Sale
$2500 or Best Offer
Brand New!
Staggered 19" Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s
245/40YR19 Fronts
275/35YR19 Rears
Only put approx. 50 miles on the tires. Rubber stubs still on the tires.
I can provide more pictures to interested parties.
These are nice looking wheels.
I decided to go back to the 18" wheels that came with the vehicle because of the tire pressure monitoring system.
If you don't have the TPMS or don't care that it won't work with these wheels, then these may be for you.
Thanks

TPMS will work on this wheel. You don't have to sell it.
You can buy the strap to strap TPM on the wheel.

Hello Everyone,
Thanks for all the input and inquiries.
These are replicas manufactured from Italy.
I'm not sure what the strap on TPMS are or how they will work with the factory system, but thanks for the link and I will give them a call tomorrow.
As for what I learned from my experience while attempting to transfer the sensors from the stock 18" rims to the pictured 19" rims.
The sensors are at the end of the valve stems of the stock 18" rims.
To remove them, you must unmount the tire and unbolt the sensor from the side of the stock rim.
The stock AMG rims have an indentation on the side of the rim where the valve stem/sensor will sit snug onto the side of the rim. This is a must...otherwise the sensor/valve stem will cause the following problems:
a) while applying air to the tire...the tire may press against the valve stem/sensor causing it to break (the cost at the dealer is about 250.00 so take a chance if you like)
b) if it doesn't break...it will push the valve stem downwards possibly causing air leakage (someone had suggested putting silicon around the the stem, but that's totally mickey mouse...so thanks but no thanks).
I hope my explanation makes sense to you. If you saw it in person, then you'll definitely know what I'm talking about.
In regards to the strap on TPM Sensor....is that an aftermarket sensor that will work with the mbz unit? or is that doing something with the existing stock sensors?
