As many of you know, I have upgraded to BRABUS Monoblock S wheels. As a result, I am selling my stock SLK55 AMG 18" alloy wheels. These wheels only had 872 miles on them when I had them replaced. They have no damage. They come with Pirelli PZERO ROSSO Tires. These wheels are chrome. Here is the fitment.

Front: 7.5 x 18" 225/40 R 18
Rear: 8.5 x 18" 245/35 R 18

Below is a pic of the wheels and tires. I will be listing these on Ebay on Sunday afternoon (March 26, 2006). I just thought I would give you guys first crack at them if you want them.

I will not ship these wheels and tires - too much trouble. If you want to purchase them, you will have to pick them up at my home in South Orange County near Mission Viejo.

I am asking $2,400. Send me a PM if you want to come by and see them. I will give you my number.

Thanks.

Come on guys . . . the $2,400 is just an opener. If you are interested in these wheels, make me an offer. I love to negotiate but am told I suck at it. So you can easily get the best of me and come out on top. But complete silence won't do.

Are they chrome or are they stock? Stock wheels are not chrome. Please clarify.

They are actually OEM's that have been chrome plated.

He should have worded it better in his listing and will probably get a ton of PM's asking the same thing.

 

[Beleriand]

Julien is correct. Thanks guys. I will change that to in the listing to clarify.

I edited the work "stock" out of the listing. I also added some more pictures if you are interested. Thanks again.

Beleriand. Just for the heck of it, how about weighing one front tire and wheel and one rear. I will do the same on my extra 10 spoke 350 wheels and tires. It might be of interest to people what the stock ones weigh.

Count me in. It would be a good reference for choosing replacements.

Beleriand what is your problem,,,,,
I send several PM and post about your wheels, and no reply.
Then you decide to put them on ebay and post a link and invite evey one on this forum to bid.
so I decide to bid and you decide not to accept my bid... interesting.......
Hope you have a good reason. and good luck .it is KARMA however. what goes arround comes arround.

 

[Beleriand]

I do not recall ever getting your PMs. I apologize if I did not respond to them. I received so many PMs on the wheels and tires that it was hard to keep them straight. I am sure that you did send them, I looked at my PM history and there they are - among about 100 others. I'm sorry yours got overlooked. I put these wheels up for sale a day before I listed them on ebay exclusively on this and MBworld and I got no response from anyone - indicating that prior interested parties either weren't really interested or had changed their minds.

As far as cancelling your bid. First, there was no way for me to know it was you. Second, your email on file with ebay is not working. I always cancel bids when the email isn't working. That almost always means that the buyer is a flake. I have a lot of experience on eBay. I was just following the policies stated in my listing. Also, it is expressly listed as a legitimate reason to cancel a bid when a buyer's ebay contact info is out-of-date or not working such that the buyer's identity cannot be confirmed. I sent an email attempting to confirm the bid to you email registered with ebay and it was returned by your email server as a bad email address. There was no way to contact you once the auction ended to arrange pick-up or anything.

If you would like to bid again, i will take your name off of the blocked bidders list.

It's not personal dude. It is just business. But with an eBay contact email that doesn't work, any reputable seller would have done the same.

Once again, I am sorry that your bid was cancelled. If you would like to work it out, I am willing to try. Otherwise, good luck to you.

Hi Bereliand,
