I am going to pick up a set in San Diego tomorrow and was just wondering what a fair price would be for 4 good condition 8-hole rims from a 1995 e420.

What do they go for at the junkyards?

Should I expect the lugbolts to come with them?

Center caps will need to be replaced-----I wanted to get tires put on them tomorrow also, so will I need the center caps on before the wheels are on the car, or can I install them later?

Should I get the 5th wheel.....will be more expensive because it is perfect and has a brand new tire on it?

Does anyone need something specific from a 1995 E420...the guy is parting the entire car....pretty sure it is tan interior.....I will be leaving Friday at about noon, so will need to know tonight if someone needs something.

My car needs nothing, but is there anything I NEED to have as a backup since I'll have access to parts?

Just be aware that 8 hole wheels in 1992-1994 are painted silver (and clearcoated), and 1995 8 hole wheels are polished with a clearcoat.

If the wheels look cloudy (either version), it is because the clear coat is failing.

Either version can be refinished.

Thanks Paul. I was aware that these were the polished wheels. They are in pretty nice condition...some baked on black stuff from brake dust I am assuming, but overall really nice, and I don't feel the need to have them refinished. I ended up paying $150 for 4 of them. I like the polished wheels, and that is what came on my car from the factory.

Good price, that's what I paid for my spare set also.

The E420 wears the same wheels as the E320 also.
