I have never seen a set of wheels with as much curb damage as the ones in that post. On top of that, the second wheel is bent! I wouldn't use them even if someone gave them to me free of charge.
If $600 shipped is a reasonable price for the junk in that post, then $1200 for AirFrcd's mint condition and powder coated wheels is a bargain.

Two of the wheels would need to be refinished, wow. for 600 + the refinishing of even all 4 wheels would still be less than your $1200 price. You need to get over yourself and your stock powdercoated wheels. They arent worth that much.

Powder coating doesnt add 100% resale value, you very well know that. In fact, it can go backwards and lower resale value because some people may want the rims, but not powdercoated.
But they're nice and clean rims :]

Second, a simple polish job is not going to fix the dent on the second wheel. That's going to take a bona fide wheel repair shop.
Third, it happens that I did just sell a set of AMG Style V wheels. The price was $600 plus shipping. My for sale thread is here: https://mbworld.org/forums/wheels-ti...x9-5-rear.html. My wheels were clean but not in mint condition like the wheels in this thread, which leads to...
Fourth, if someone bought my wheels and paid to powder coat them, they would have spent more money than the seller is requesting and would have less to show for it. Anyone who wants a set of original finish wheels should shop for original finish wheels. These wheels are for someone who wants powder coated wheels.
Fifth and last, thread crapping is poor netiquette. If you don't like the man's wheels, don't buy them. If you like them but think the price is too high, then PM him with an offer.

First, check the name on my post. I'm not the seller. While I may or may not need to get over myself, I don't own any powder coated wheels to get over.

Bump for a nice and sick set of wheels...
Man, that's a very nice set of wheels...
People, please pay respect to him....I think $1200 is fair for this type of wheels. My bro has same set with original color. He spent $800 included shipping for used rims only...
GL for selling it..
