Anyway, AMG wheels, from the dealership, cost quite a bit. Even if your upgrading just your new car purchase w/ optional wheels they can easily over 3gs. For a CLK, 20's will fit, so your looking at up to 10k for HRE's or Iforged easily...

But I dont even know this guy, but don't rip on his gf joel... common

Oh, and racingman wouldnt' know anything, he only worked for them... hmm..

Sorry heres a real 2005 clk500 Factory wheel ....

....that's been refinished/repaired.

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.

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.

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.

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...

First off, she was probably being jokingly sacrastic.

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.

The video doesn't work but just by taking a quick glance at the page, it looks like just a bunch of pompous british ass's who don't know what the fuck they are talking about. Lexus v. Hyndai...someone please blow up the Hyndai corporation.

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.
