What do you guys think of these wheels?
I can get these at a pretty sick price locally, just not really sure what to think of them. My wife really likes them and the price really is attractive ( $700 brand new installed which is pretty rediculous considering I live in PR where shipping slaughters me ).
Anyways... thoughts?

Also, what car came with these ( if any )?

the ones from that ebay auction are 100% fake -- and most are fake -- or replicas --- We have a vendor on here -- he sales reps for about $700 -- unlike the ebay ones you linked -- they look 100% real but arent...
that style is from the E63 -- I got the real ones on my car -

wheels pro sells these and is a sponcer here.I got a set delivered for like 699.That guy will prolly give you cheap tires for that 1500 price tag.
you can get the new pilot super sports and the 699 wheels and just be a tad over 1650.

no one is reading my first post. 
Having these shipped to me, regardless of where I buy them, will cost me $1k because I live in PR. I want opinions on the wheel design not the price. lol

i think they will be fine replacement wheels -- but they are what they are -- so, if you can live with that -- great --- if you get the good fakes... not many people will be able to know unless they take the wheels off -- even then, it may be hard to tell.
I just wouldnt trust them for those really high speed runs.

Why not buy a set of OEM MB wheels from your dealership? Should be about the same price point, if you don't have to get them shipped overseas.<img src="https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif" border="0" alt="" title="nix" smilieid="33" class="inlineimg" />
Regardless, I went with 19's. I'll post pics in a minute.

I don't know what mb comes with these wheels but they cost me $1600 with tires and installed ( rear tires are Toyo T1R's and the front are some cheap nexens in 19's ).
They are flat black with an opaque aluminum face.

If im not mistaken, those look like the option AMG wheels for the W212. Any W212. Even the pics of the car they are showing are of a regular W212.
And buying from E-Bay does not necessarily mean you are buying reps or rip offs.
