Trying to find a set of these wheels and wondering if anybody has bought from these guys or any other wheel company that offers refurbished OEM wheels for sale? Thanks

I bought my CLS55 wheels from a local member of the forum. My measurements are as follows: 245/35/19 & 285/30/19. I got lucky with them price wise, $800 plus $400 for powder coating. Oh, spent $200 on four used tires, running them now, haven’t decide on going 275 or staying 285; they has minor rubbing issues. I did rolled the fenders but still rubs a tad on S2 mode. I personally like to stay with 285 for wider look.

MSG- you're going to stick with the front set up but if you stay with 285 at the rear, since you've already rolled fenders, how are you going to accommodate the width? I want 285 on the rears as well...

I'm not sure JB, I heard some particular tires are different on how they’re made; round curve edges compared to squared out edges (idk terminology) that may make a difference with rub issues. Or maybe I be adjusting rides from S2 to C mode when driving and stationary, or go down to 275. I’m also going to get suggestions from shops as well. My used tires still got good life left for me to test out and abuse before I make decision. I keep you updated.
