I love how my 17s look. They are 17x7.5, with 215/40/17s. Tires are almost brand new, and the wheels were just refinished by the original owner. Everything looks brand new, if someone made me a good offer for me to swtich to 18s, I might think about it...Let me know.

How much?

Chiragp · #4 04-23-2002, 11:10 PM

Whatever you think is a fair offer for wheels and tires with barely 2k miles on them.

What brand of wheels do you got ?are they all season?

They are Mercedes-Benz OEM E430 Sports 17x7.5s with brand new Toyo Proxes FZ4 215/40/17s, perfect for 190Es that are lowered or going to be lowered. The reason I picked these tires are because they are reinforced and have a higher load carrying capacity then most tires in this size, and that allows me to meet my stock OEM Load carrying capacity without having to overinflate the tires then. Not only that, they protect the lip so well, and are Ultra High Performance, All-Season and directional. Each tire brand new is at least $105 + S/H, plus the cost of newly refinished wheels (around $100 each wheel to be refinished) that have had the lip repolished and the wheels repainted and clear coated, they look brand spanking new. No Curb Rash NO where, they are flawless, and even been balanced by MB.

I'll take a closeup if you are interested.

I got a set of 4 AMG 17" monoblock "non Chrome" for sale ronald_m will you be interested ?
They come with a set of 4 88% new RE950 UH/All season tires.
Which is excellent, in fact I think they are better then the SP9000 or P7000 I had before

Ron:

I have a set of Lorinser RS90's that would be perfect for the 190 series. They are 16 X 7.5 ET35. These were designed by Lorinser for the 190's and the C class only.

They have been trued, polished, and clear coated, and have never seen a tire on them. They are 100%.

If you have any interest, let me know.

Thanks,
Dave.

Hey Dave, if you don't mind my asking, what did you pay to get the wheels trued, polished, and clear-coated?

And, where did you get it done?

I have a set of 8 hole wheels that need this work done.

I'm in Diamond Bar, in the Brea Canyon, just north of the city of Brea.

thanks.
