Smile Looking to Purchase SL65 OEM Wheels

I have an 07 SL65 with 2800 miles that has the original two piece AMG wheels CHROMED. It came that way from the dealership and I am tired of them. I am looking for a set of original PAINTED SL65 wheels in excellent condition to buy. If anyone out there has a set, or if anyone wants to trade the painted ones for Chrome ones, please drop a line!

Thank you!

Check out theses site for parts. The first site list all used MB parts sellers by state. The site also let you search by year and model for any parts. The information is sent out to all dealer that may have the parts. I received about dozen replies from all over the country on a wheel for my 2000 E320.

Thank you for the tip. I will visit the sites immediately. I had the feeling that there would be multiple listings of pull outs for sale but I was wrong!

I was lucky I found a yard about twenty miles from home. They had four wheels one was in very good shape the other were not to good. A visual inspection is always the best with use parts. I ordered a wheel from a large type company in the City it was ship from out of state the quality was not that good. The yard had better prices and more selection in some were in better condition.

I used the link list below and I completed an on line request. I heard from about a dozen yards. The prices varied from yard to yard and then is no guarantee on the condition of the parts. Many links have good references but you want to check the return policy and try and get a picture of the item.

Problem solved!

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all the links and suggestions for the wheels. I found a set of brand new, 2009 SL63 pullouts. I even like them better than the original ones in the SL65. I will take some pictures and post them in case someone wants to see how they fit.

Thank you again for all of your responses!

Marcelo
