Excellent condition overall with minor imperfections. Two wheels (one front and one rear) are perfect with no road rash. The two others have some rash and chips from installation. I have tried to capture the imperfections in the pics below. Specs on the wheels are:

8.5X19 ET25 Front
9.5X19 ET28 Rear

Rear tires have less than 2,000 miles on them. Fronts are at about 70%. Lots of life left all around. Tire specs are:

Fronts: 255/35/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A
Rears: 275/30/19 Goodyear Eagle F1

Unlike stock CLS55 tires sizes, this package is ready for perfect fitment on the W211. With these tires, the fitment is perfect in my opinion.

Asking for $1,800 picked up in the Boston area (will deliver for free within 60 miles of Boston) but will ship at buyer's expense.

Thanks for looking.

With mismatched tires and the two being chewed up, $2000 is quit a bit.

Appreciate the feedback. Price dropped to $1,800. I am open to offers as well.

emoving

You want to trade plus cash for my DPEs?

3etoiles

I love your wheels but not looking to go to 20s. Would only trade for 19s, preferrably volks.

3etoiles

Bump!

Thanks man.

3etoiles

Let's move these.

emoving

Do you want to sell them w/o the tires? I need a set of these.

3etoiles

Would rather not split them up. Sorry. They are used tires too so it really wouldnt make a huge difference if I split them and sold rims alone. Anyway, give me a good offer and i will surely consider it.

emoving

Man, im trying. I am just figuring I need to refinish the wheels and get a new set of front tires. Cant deal with mismatches on any car let alone this one.
Reccomended tire for the front its 245, either way, it looks like Goodyear does not make that tire in a 245 or a 255. So to match, I would need all new tires.

3etoiles

Why do you want to refinish the wheels? Because of the rash? I can have that taken care of.

As for the mismatches, I totally understand. This is the first time I have mismatched. However, the tread design is so close between them that I didn't think too much of it. Never had an problems. You could also sell these to recoup some of the cost if you bought new ones.

As for the 255 fronts, recommended according to who? This car didn't come with 19s as far as I know so there can't be an ideal size. There is no rubbing at all even on full lock and the fitment looks perfect.

Plus you have 20s on your car now so I think you would agree that as long as it fits well and looks good, lets play ball!

Although not by much, a 255/35/19 is a bit taller or a tire than the stock 245/40/18.. I think thats what emoving is talking about..

emoving

I would need to have them all powdercoated since they are chewed up. My car is spotless and I cant stand curb rash. So that is about $400 to have them done properly. How did you plan to fix the rash? Also, according to the tire rack, those front tires you have are th incorrect size. But worse then that, there is no way to match the fronts with the new rears so I would get a ll 4 new ones. Like I said, I just can stand to pull up in a car like this and have mismatched tires. Just kinda hillbilly IMO.

3etoiles

Damn dude, you are quite the perfectionist! Yeah, you probably wouldnt like my fix for the rash then. I know a guy that knows a guy. He just spot fixes the rash and matches the paint. But honestly, his work is great. at least for me. And the silver isnt hard to match. Cant help on the hillbilly part though!

Edit: just FYI, the difference in diameter for the tire differences between the recommended and what i have is 0.27 inches, which would equate to a 1.05% speedo difference.

emoving

I dont have a problem with the size, I have an issue that I cant match tires without buying all new ones. Yea, I am deffinetly OCD when it comes to my car.

vntgspd

Nothing wrong with OCD!

Are you sure about the Goodyears? I have 245-35-19 F1 on my car now that I bought 1-2 months ago.

emoving

I guess it depends, it seems there are a few different types of F1s.

3etoiles

The asymmetrics are the ones I have.

Jim's500E

Nice set !...so looks like only one rim is blemish free then? Can you even notice that the tires are mis-matched when you drive?

And are you motivated at all by cash and pick-up potential?

djrabbi

I had 1 mismatched tire, I can feel a difference. I think I have OCD like Marcus with wheels and tires. All 4 tires have to be the same or something won't feel right when driving

Jim's500E

I wouldn't really call that being '****' or OCD .....but sure, I can see just one tire being different having a noticeable feel.

Ideally and normally, yes, all 4 the same...agreed.

3etoiles

thanks for the interest Jim. I didnt notice any difference to be honest. you can come drive the car for yourself since you are somewhat local and tell me what you think. 2 of the rims are perfect as far as I can tell.

a local sale would be the best so you can see the wheels and so i dont have to deal with shipping. i would definitely entertain any offers you have. i could even meet you halfway between boston and manchester if you are interested.

Let me know what you are thinking!

Jim's500E

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll get with you on PM then.
