$800 for stock rims is astronomically high when you can buy a new set of aftermarket rims for the same price or less. With tires it wouldn't cost much more.
I'm in the market for a left front rim, but not at that price. Also, if the tires cost $800 alone, you paid WAY too much. You may want to do a little more research next time to save yourself some cash.
I retreaded my C32 for $580 all the way around.

I just checked and the TireRack has these tires for $808 for the set + $45 for shipping. Then you have to have them mounted. I'm sure that you can find tires for less and some of the aftermarket wheels are less than oem also. But what I have is a perfect, and look just like new set of oem wheels with Michelin tires. Check on ebay and you will find what you are looking for,at the kind of price that you want to pay.

The sad truth is that 17" AMG wheels typically go for $600-800 (shipping included) here, just run a quick search. So as nice as those rims are (I used to own a set 
), you'll be better off trying Craigslist, though obviously the % of MB enthusiasts there will be WAY lower and you'll have a harder time landing a sale.
One last thing: you'll be lucky to recoup 50% of the brand-new price for your tires if you have 10,000mi on them. Tires do NOT depreciate linearly.
Good luck with the sale.

white and whiter
tires have a approx 6 yr shelf life span from their manufactured date. depends on how it is stored. the Pilot Sport was discontinued in 04 or 05 so that make them on the boarder of "time to replace" tires. even if the tread are still there, the weathering on the rubber can make the tire weak and less flexible. this can be dangerous if the tire starts to crack and separating. this is one of the reason used tires are worthless.
from the pic the front tire doesn't look like they only have 1k miles on them either.

I have to side with Frank on this one
I had my fronts separate on my e55 because they were 5 years old and were hardly driven on in its lifetime. Nice tires but if they are that old, the set is really worth what you asking for.

These tires were put on our C32 by the dealer last year when we bought the car as a CPO. They put new tires and a new battery in order to CPO the car.
