WTB: E55 AMG 18" 9 or 8.5

I need to get my hands on two of these wheels.
Hopefully someone can help me out.
I came across a good deal on the rears, but I need to get two front wheels.
The rears are 18x9.5 I think I saw that the fronts might have come in a 8.5 and/or a 9?
I definitely can't run any 9.5 in the front.
Please let me know if you have the wheels I need.
Here is a picture of the wheels I am talking about.

Thanks, but I need two as of now.
Unless this is a killer deal I'm not too interested.

Depends on the crack I think. And weather on not you want to spend $900+ on a new one This one is so small you could prob put some epoxy on it and be good. Most places will repaint and reapir this wheel for $100 +/- $20

I offered to send this one to him if he dosent want it you can have it for MUCH MUCH less. I am going to wait to hear from him since I gave him first dibbs.

Hoping we can work something out with 6spdcoupe and get us both two of them.
Anybody else in case we can't split the set?

I had ONE rim exact as the picture (come from an S55) here is the spec on the rims : A220 401 3402 8.5x18 EH2 ET44 OEM rim. Made in Austria. Tiny rash on the edge (due to incompetent tires's shop, when removing the tire). The rim is new, never mount in car. Anyone need one front rim, PM me. Price $150.00 (firm) + shipping. The part number may be different, but the offset (ET #) is match, you are Okay to use.

the biggest problem with fitting 18s on an E55 is the BBK. The offset is so it doesn't hit suspension components underneath....the barrel of the wheel is just as important...it will not clear the caliper most of the time.

His wife crazy
Pimpjuice,
I have a set that will be available soon, just waiting for new wheels to come in. No curb rash, just minor scratches from tire mounting. I'll clean them up and take pics when they are off the car.
