Damaged Alloys

[c240yaz]

I can't believe what some people will buy on ebay. I would not touch these with a barge pole.. .....Check how many are bidding on these, the price, and look at the state of the wheels in pic 3 and 4.

And cripes - two of them are really bad - but maybe the other two and the tyres are not that bad a deal if you only need two?

Two on our caravan would look good,

The other two surely they will give you vibrations?

£360...... so far ...

Seriously, I almost bought another set of alloys on ebay tonight, but I hesitated at the last minute. Please look at the below link. They are a staggered set up, Replicas, but they look good to me.

Any opinions / thoughts, positive or negative, most welcome.

There ok but not sure about the darker look, looks almost like brake dust over them already and I like my alloys shiney

Prefer the bent set un bent

or the AMG split rim type??

Replicas are fine, I've had orginals on cars and they still go bad and pit when laquer is damaged.

Much cheaper to replace if needed also.

I like the colour and very current design, lots of new MB coming with the five spokes

I have a set of Genuine AMG 18 inch wheels for sale of a S55 AMG. Both front tyres are nearly new and the rears are just about done. Some lacquer is missing but in general they are ok. (straight too i.e no kinks )

£472!!!

WTF is that all about?

Those wheels confirm what I have always said ,you cant use 20" in the UK they have all been pot holed

 

[c240yaz]

If any members have a set of 17" 5 spokes, 203 AMG style, with good running tyres, at least 5 mm tread on each, Must be staggered, that's what I may be interested in.

(I am fussy, (Please don't take offence if they are not for me).

I would have thought the same, but there's about £3Ks worth of wheels and tyres there if they were new.

Someone has bought them for £472. They'll probably have them refurbed to look as good as new for about £200 and they'll be back on ebay for a grand, or fitted to a car.

Does seem expensive still but these are for the newest model S-class, very desirable in almost any condition.

I had a set of 19" wheels once on a Mk4 Golf GTi, and they suffered. The round had a flat spot in them where I must have hit a pot hole, and on one maybe 2 occasions it was almost impossible to not curb them. Your heart sinks

It sinks further when it takes out a new tyre as well

I had 19" wheels on my lexus and remember hitting a pot hole. Put a 9" crack in the wheel and burst the tyre. Gutting feeling was when OZ discontiued the wheel and I had to buy a whole new set.
