17" AMG Monoblock Replicas?

[abbos]

Evening,

What should I be paying for a used set of four of these, with rubber that is ok. No bolts or center caps. No kurb marks and the laquer is all oki doki?

I am on a budget that is tighter than a ducks ar$e so although they are replicas, I'm still pondering....................

 

[abbos]

darn it, a bit slow this evening guys. I bought them. £255.01p.

Was I wrong? Should I resell them, or a good buy?

Feedback please

The way I see it, a set of second-hand alloys aren't worth more than about half their brand new price. Those wheels are about £100 each new, so £200 for all four wheels without tyres would be fine. Second hand tyres aren't worth much at all but are nice to have so I reckon you paid about the going rate. Well done

Remember that ONE genuine, brand new AMG rim of that style in that size would be £250 on it's own without tyres or delivery or anything.

Phew, thanks for the positive feedback Shude. All I need to get now are some center caps.

I have had a look on ebay, but is there anywhere else I can source them from and do I need to check for anything special?

Sorry for the "stupid" sounding questions, but the last time I bought a set of alloys I was 19yrs.

The best place to get centrecaps from? Stealership!

Which style do you want, there are lots to choose from, all are about £5 each.

 

[abbos]

not that horrible word "stealership"! not too bad though, £5 each.

is there anywhere I can find some pictures of the different styles that are available?

I'm sure forum members could take some pics.

The most common ones are:

standard silver
silver with chrome ring/emblem
blue wreath
black wreath

You will see them on ebay but they are selling them at the same price as the stealership mostly.

I went for the Chrome ones

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the replies guys!

I must admit those chrome ones look really smart. I'm going to try to get me a set.

Do you think it is worth buying them from the stealers instead of wasting my time on ebay? Especially if they are going to be the same price?

yes, definitely. they will be NEW and original

It looks like your definatly keeping them now but If you do decide you want to resell let me know as these are just what I'm after!
