19" Triple Chrome Rays Lexion x503 Wheels Mercedes (NEW!)
Front
19” x 8.5”
Offset +35
Rear
19” x 10”
Offset +40
These wheels were top of the line and retailed for over $5,300 from the legendary Rays Engineering wheel company. This multipiece wheel features forged barrels for high strength to weight ratio as you would expect in this price range.
This is a brand new set I've kept in the garage- I was planning on using it on the CL500 but sold the car. These should fit all mercedes sedans and coupes, and I can help answer fitment questions if needed so just ask. The first photo is a stock photo, the next two are my actual wheels, and the next two are for reference on a C class (not mine).
Asking $3500

Bump, remember this set is BRAND NEW and I am taking offers.
When you buy used wheels you invariably risk buying them with unknown or undisclosed damage from road use. This set is flawless- just like it came delivered, only at a $2000 discount. These are of comparable quality to HRE wheels (reference original price and forged 6061 aluminum construction) which cost double what I'm asking. The quality of Rays wheels are absolutely amazing, they have been manufacturing wheels since the early 1970s and supply many car manufactures with high-end OEM wheels which means they are at the forefront of the industry.
Chrome is by far the most expensive finish which runs hundreds of dollars extra per wheel so there is no comparison to regular painted, powdercoated, or machined finishes. Triple chrome is the best you can get in chrome, it means two layers of nickel plating bonded to the wheel before the final chrome layer, which prevents galvanic corrosion on a chemical level- and this was process was done at the Rays factory where the facilities are absolutely state of the art (not some Joe's local shop).
I have to stress that this is a killer deal on a very rare and unique set of wheels to truly set your car apart. Looks, performance, savings- take advantage.

I mentioned it above briefly, it means two layers of nickel plating bonded to the wheel before the final chrome layer. This is to prevent galvanic corrosion and create a durable finish. "Triple" refers to the three layers of plating.
Rays Engineering is definitely NOT out of business. They have been around since the 1970s and are probably the most successful wheel company in the world. They are pioneers of the industry, similar to BBS- that is why I say they are legendary. They have many lines of wheels such as volk racing which people often mistake for different companies. You can flip through this 12 page online brochure to read more about them:

I'll give you a free bump. Ray's is a top of the line manuf of rims for the JDM market. Go look on any of the JDM boards (NASIOC, 5thgen.com, etc) and you'll see. Very good rims. Ray's engineered a whole line of Volk rims.
