So as some of you know.. I bought an SL600.. here she is, got her home 4/21/10:

https://mbworld.org/forums/sl55-amg-...e-tonight.html

The car has 20" wheels on them now and they are:

20x9 Maya MRS Powder Coated Gloss Black Fronts
20x11 Maya MRS Powder Coated Gloss Black Rears
Vredestein 255/30/20 (front) 295/25/20(rear) (this is like a 305 rear in other brands)


Car was an AZ car

I am looking at a 19" setup for better traction with my future plans.

So these are for sale. Brand new Vredestein tires on them. The wheels were roughly $6000 all said and done and the vredestein tires have amazing reviews.


I will get some nice closeups of the wheels. But there is no curbing, pitting, etc. The lips are gloss black, centers are matte. It's a forged 3 piece wheel. They were just refinished 2 days ago, so they are 100%!! I am asking around $3200 obo for the wheels


But anyways, I can even work out a trade if your local.. but looking at 19" setups.. let me know what you have that will fit my 04 SL600.. if your not sure and your selling 19s, please find out before telling me they will fit and wasting each others time.

bump they gotta go or I am making them into sculptures.

InTheBenz0

obo.. i really am motivated to sell these! They look amazing







Cell phone pic (it's way too dull, but a closer pic) will get more pics if there's interest of it up close with a half decent camera

InTheBenz0

bump. $2650 obo! I bought new wheels, they gotta go or they are going to be recycled metal!

InTheBenz0

These have to go!!!!! OFFERS. Nothing ridiculous though... these were $6k new and the tires on them are brand new rears, 700-800 miles on the fronts!

It seems generic high end wheels ( Maya , Lowenhart, etc.) have really bad resale value. But GLWS and free bump.

my own money finding this out, but it's just plain tough to resell an expensive set of wheels. The ability for people to pay $2500-4000 for a USED set of wheels is just too much for most folks to bear. The marketplace is dramatically different when you can offer something used for $1000-1600. Of course, the Chinese and others have changed the game by offering some really remarkable quality wheels for very little $$. And the prospect of used wheels is often really scary anyway--gotta be real sure what you're getting.
Nice looking setup though. I'd keep them. I don't think you're going to get much more traction on 19's anyway. You'd probably be better off spending the money on tyring to re-do your TC software, or another rear end....

That's a good price! GLWS!

What new wheels did you go with?

InTheBenz0

Yeah they are a good price, and i said obo! But its a steal for sure even at the price...

The wheels I am going to go with is still undecided.. but I can get these off and put the car on a lift till my new ones come..

And for the other post... its not so much even traction.. im driving around with 295/25/20 - my commute that I have is not meant for that wheel for 10k miles a year..

The 19 is a 285/30/19 - that should be vastly better as far as if you hit the occasional pothole

InTheBenz0

Need these gone $1999 takes them with virtually brand new vredestein tires and they were JUST refinished!!!!!!!!

This is a steal for someone

eefx

will you ship to 94132?

InTheBenz0

If you cover 100% shipping costs - and if you want insurance or whatever, sure. I am ordering my new wheels tonight.. I would have them in about 4 days they say.

If you send me a paypal deposit, I will then hold them and when my new wheels/tires come in, I will then take them off and send them in the brand new boxes the new wheels came in.

Even with shipping costs, this is an utter steal. I am paying more for damn replicas. It pains me to do this, but I am going to a smaller wheel for north NJ/NYC driving

InTheBenz0

SALE PENDING!! I got another PM this morning and the others that were interested... right now it looks like I have a sale. I have a deposit. This was a crazy opportunity for someone. if it falls through I will post up and the next person to send a deposit will get them.

if the sale falls through.. i'll pick these up... ill pay shipping + insurance to 92679... lmk. Thanks! I'll wire transfer payment tomorrow to bank of your choosing and/or paypal... although i will need to transfer funds into paypal (not sure how long they put a hold on for.)

lmk..

Thanks

SOLD for $1999 plus shipping on the buyers part.

To think this setup was close to $8500 new after tires and paint!


On another note, I ordered Avant Garde M328 wheels.. these are the wheels on the IWC edition SL63 (the matte white color sl63 that comes with the watch and stickers for like a $30k premium at around $185,000.

Here are the wheels on the IWC car:



These wheels are concave and I am having these powder coated satin/semi gloss black. So it will accent the bling factor and also accent the matte pieces on the car. The center caps will be satin as well and the mercedes star will be glossy black like the 2 emblems on the car currently (grill and rear star under 3rd brake light). I will POST pics when they are installed!

Buyer should be stoked.... I know I would be..

New wheels look good as well!

BTW, your SL600 looks flawless...
