Honestly, it's a tiburon. I've taken a look at them and imho, they are all cheaply made and aren't worth a damn. Back to the original topic, maybe they just wanted to see a badass burnout? I could be wrong though...I agree. I get a lot of younger people always asking me to do a burnout, or floor it, etc etc just to see what it has.
Maybe they just liked the car...

For the record Even if your car was an AMG, your wheels all together are only worth about 1500 bucks. So that tiburon is worth 375 bucks. You might want to get a smarter Girl. You can do that with those german cars I heard...Not that this car has them but, You've obviously never priced out a set of HRE wheels. And I know there are more expensive ones than those.

Lexus v. Hyndai...someone please blow up the Hyndai corporation.

And AMG wheels worth only 1500$? Yea, maybe good knockoffs on Ebay. I have 17" AMG wheels on my car, and they are pushing 500 bucks a piece...for just 17's. 18-19" AMG's are a LOT more.
Now granted, being a CLK 500, it probably has 17" AMG's and probably has the same wheels that I have my little C class. But all together they are still worth almost 2 g's.

I'm sure you know more about cars than the guys at top gear...No! I know that I don't because let's face it, I'm a little ignorant sometimes on here, but I just believe that they crack down a little to hard. Honestly, I think sometimes the world would be better off without consumer reports because it's not what the general public likes, it's what YOU as a consumer likes. Who says you have to fall in with the crowd. Who cares if everyone else likes it. If you don't, then don't buy it. Something in that area...

If you wanna get technical on me, I'll point a few things out about those.
They are 4 front wheels. They aren't staggered like they should be.
They are a fairly old style, that isn't much in high demand anymore.
And they are chrome. Which for some people does it, but most people I've talked to, it decreases value.

Yes they are staggered. The ones on the left are rears.

Sorry heres a real 2005 clk500 Factory wheel http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Factory-Alloy-Wheel-Rim-Mercedes-CLK500-2005-17-65346_W0QQitemZ190120983047QQihZ009QQcategoryZ43957QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

I stand corrected. Must've been the uber shinyness of the chrome that threw off my depth perception.
And that means that their add is wrong too. They have them both listed as 17x8.5, which is incorrect. [That's what I was basing my comment on before too, BTW] There should be an inch difference front to rear.

Those are, however, most likley the ones he has on the car. Same ones I've got. They Sure are purty.
That is a helluva price though, too bad it's not new, I'd probably buy one to replace one of my front one that has two little tiny chips in it. O well, I think I'll worry about the rust on my doors first.
