I have four AMG Style II alloys for sale.
2 x 7.5J ET35 Part Number HWA2024000302
2 x 8.5J ET30 Part Number HWA2024010102
Last year I had these refurbished to absolute A1 condition. I had the wheels painted all over (no diamond cut lip any more) by choice as I wanted to avoid problems with the dimaond cut and laqeur going milky. The lips could be diamond cut once more though I am sure if you wanted (you cannot repeatedly do this on any alloy as it removes metal from the wheel).
However, since then the wheels have been through the wars a little. No kerbing grazes, but an extremely minor (I will really have to point it out to you) bump from a pot hole on one front and a more sizable bump to the lip on one of the rears. The other rear has a small graze under the valve.
This gives the ideal oppertunity to gain a set of four for a buyer who cannot afford a mint set of original AMG's straight away or someone who needs to make up a set. The pair of 7.5's could be used straight away and look great - cosmetically perfect. The rears are not totally unsightly either - although under inspection have faults.
The standard of the refurb (last year):
That painted lip
So apart from having been used, the wheels are still A1 having been kept free from brake dust, apart from these following marks/dents - NO other kerb grazes full stop:
7.5J Wheel One
This wheel is A1.
7.5J Wheel Two
A1, but has been on the recieving end of a pot hole. The result is and I literally need to point this out is a slight bulge to the lip - it's just ever so fractionally our of line for about an inch and you can see the very slight stress mark in the paint when the wheel is freshly cleaned and under extremely close inspection.
8.5J Wheel One
A1, but a small graze to the lip only. Hidden under the valve unless inspected. Remember this is an extremely tight close up.
8.5J Wheel Two
This is the wheel with the most damage. Pictures show the most serious damage in it’s worst light. From many angles it does not show too badly and I am sure repairable. It holds air pressure no problem, the tyre seals much higher up than the damage. I have been driving with no change to my style for quite a while like this!
This is an honest, nothing hidden advert. The wheels are for sale as seen, no tyres, no centre caps.
EDIT: Now include the fitted Goodyear Eagle F1's. All have at least 6mm I believe.
For someone needing a pair and odd amount or the set, this could be a bargain. I am not looking for top money, make me an offer (keep it sensible though please!).
PM's or replies here initially please.
