Selling HRE wheels/tires cheap! $6,000+ MSRP, selling for only $2,799!

Hey guys, I'm selling my HRE 19' 549R's for R129. They are 19x9 front and 19x10 rear. They are in excellent used condition, almost no visible curb rash or scratches. One wheel had very minor curb damage in the back, which was professionally repaired and balanced (see last pic). The finish is chrome center with high polished lip. My asking price is $2,799 for wheels and tires (still plenty of tread left!). I will also include lug nuts and their tool.

How did you like those Dunlops you have on there? When it's time for tires next, I was considering those...

I would recommend Michelin PS2 over Dunlops personally. But they are still good, you should buy the wheels and try them out, the HRE's will look great on your car

Price dropped to $2,599! In addition to looking great, these wheels are very lightweight and will give you a noticeable performance increase too!

Ohhh...I am tempted by the price but I wanted Black on the inside to match the color of my car.

I have those on my summer wheels. Very good tires with impressive grip and wet performance. The only downside is that they are expensive and the rears wear out rather quickly.

Alright, that's the review I was looking for. I guess I will go back with the michelins again this go around...they seem to last awhile, especially the all-season Pilot-Sport's...I have 12k miles or so on them and they look brand-new.

PRICE DROP!

OK Final price drop, I need these gone ASAP. $2,399 wheels and tires. I believe that these are cheapest HRE's I've ever seen on this forum, and these look brand new! You don't see too many HRE's specifically for R129 either, it would cost you $6,000 and 4 month wait to get these made. BTW, I can also powdercoat them any color if you don't like the chrome finish.

More pics:

I have the All-Season Pilot Sport's on my winter wheels. Wore them down to the bone; those things can handle some serious mileage.

No takers yet? C'mon guys, this is a great deal on barely used HRE's with tires! What about $2,299 !? These tires alone are close to $1,000, so I'm practically giving these away free....

These things are very lightweight and will increase your car's performance too!

Thanks! I don't think they would fit on your CLK though. They might fit on the new SL, does anyone know if the new SL and old SL have the same offsets?
