Never thought the day would come when I would sell these rims, but for financial reasons I must make the smart decision. I wish to purchase a dslr to take pictures that I'll cherish the rest of my life during my college graduation, so for this simple reason I can fully justify selling these rims and riding on stocks until I get a job and buy these again later on.

Without further chit-chat:

Specs are:
18x8.5 et30 fronts
18x9.5 et33 rears.

Wrapped in Michelin PS2 ZP
225/40/18 fronts (35-45%)
255/35/18 rears (60-70%)

The GOOD:

PLUG & PLAY
I will include the proper 20x RAD bolts that will make this a simple PLUG & PLAY installation.

Proper and Flush Stance
These wheels set off the car amazingly.
They're very flush on the c-class, and fill up the wheel well/gap very well if you have the amg or sport suspension. I have clk55 amg suspension currently in the pics.


Fair (Steal of a) Price
Shipped, insured, packaged properly to your door via UPS for
$1,100
This price includes the rims, tires, and bolts!!
I don't think I need to go into the price of each thing, as someone who is interested in these rims should've done their own research. And we all know ps2's are not exactly cheap tires...


The BAD:

History: I bought these wheels from a member here about 8 months ago.
He guaranteed me that the wheels were in PERFECT condition.
Well, you can guess what happened. They weren't. What a hassle, and someone from mbworld, no less.

So I will not hide anything so nothing will hinder what should be an easy and fast sale.

There was 1 minor bend (inner) that wasn't noticeable when I first checked out the rims. But when I bought the Michelin ps2's I was informed that there was a bend in one of the 8.5 rims. The wheel balanced and holds air perfectly fine. I have been, and still am riding on it. No vibrations, loss of air, or any problems whatsoever.
I asked a reputable wheel shop how much it would cost to repair, $125.
Since I knew the guy, he told me that the bend was so minor that I should just leave it since it was holding air, balanced, and no vibrations.
I will include picture of the bend as best I can, but it really is hard to see.

The other bad thing is a very tiny ~1inch curb rash on the rim edge of one of the rear rims. Also there from the previous owner. It is not noticeable at all head on, you'd have to look from the side or above/below angles.


Other than these two noteworthy things, the rims are in immaculate condition.

If you have any questions please send me a pm, email is the fastest form of contact at: jimpanz at g mail dot c o m.

These are ready to go to a new owner!!


I am located in San Francisco, CA but generally in Davis, CA.
I am willing to deliver personally if it is not too far (30-50miles)

The price is firm as I've listed it competitively and I've done a lot of research into these rims.

I am currently away from my desktop, so I can not post pictures (on iPad)
If you are interested before tomorrow night, I can email you photos of them on the car from my phone.
Photos will be posted in this thread Sunday night.


Thank you for viewing!!

Here are the pictures as promised:

Each wheel looks like this:

The curb rash is on this rear wheel:


Side:



Front on Flush (would look better if I was even more lowered):


The minor bend in one of the front wheels that I mentioned:


The Rash I was talking about (will update with a better picture when there's light out, sorry all iPhone quality for now, but it's not noticeable anything less than 10 inches away from your eyeballs):


Ready to go!



Forgot to add:

I am willing to sell them for $950 if you come to pick them up in Cash.
I am located in Davis, CA with them at a college apartment complex.

I was thinking of doing this as well!

I was looking for wheels for a good two weeks until I found something local. If this was posted a few days earlier...

Good luck with the sale! Wheels are sweet.

iJimpanzee

You make me so sad
I was pondering so many different solutions, and this was the most temporary.. Thanks for the bump tho

For clarification....top pic shows tire size of 255/40 your description says 255/35?

Zeebrock

I noticed that too, also you mentioned the slight bend on one of the Front 8.5" wide rims but in the picture of the wheel with the bend the tire on that wheel is the mysterious 255/40 and not the 225/40 you say are on the front wheels. I'm sure you just have your pictures / sizes mixed up, so let us know what the correct size's and pictures are.

thanks

iJimpanzee

Oops. Sorry. Those old tires were from when they were on the sl. (sl takes 255/40/18 fronts and 285/35/18 rear. Which says that these rims also fit on the e, clk, and sl depending on your tire choice)

That pic is to illustrate that each rim will look like that when clean.

Tires sizes are:

225/40/18 fronts
255/35/18 rears
What I posted is the correct info of tire sizes to fit perfectly on a c-class.

I will retake quick photos to show that today.
I don't have time to clean the wheels up. They're currently dirty from brake dust and pollen, Davis I'm still driving on them until they are definitely sold, then I'll clean them and package them properly.

Apologies once again for the dirtyness.
*Bet you can't even see the curb rash as I've already told you it's not really visible*
I will clean them properly before I ship them out.
I can take care of packaging to the buyer's preference, or I can let UPS do it.
Whichever method the buyer prefers. I am trying to get these sold as problem free and asap.

I like the last shot of the rear wheel, even dirty they are hot looking rims. GL with the sale.

iJimpanzee

Thank you for the compliment and free bump
But most importantly, notifying me that I made a mistake in my photos.
I want the buyer to feel that this is a legit sale that will come with no surprises.

I believe the price is right, and now I just have to wait for the right person to come along and pull the trigger.

thesheikh

anyone know the tire specs for good fitment on an e class (w211)?

iJimpanzee

Sold. Closed

I believe on an e-class. Tire sizes would be 255/40/18 and 275 or 285/35/18.
Good luck!
