$4900 for those wheels…you got to be shitting me.

The buyer is going to be heartbroken in 3+ months when the wheels finally arrive.

The seller, FrenchFelgen, is a complete and utter lying scam artist and all around P.O.S.

He will ship the wheels by “Sea Mail” yeah by boat. It will take over 3 months. By that time you can’t file a claim via eBay or PayPal as was my case.

The wheels buyer will receive will NOT be the same ones in pictures.

I’ve seen better paper mache auto repairs and rattle can paint jobs in the streets of Jalisco.

Beware and avoid him at all cost!

Well damn @kegmankipp, tell us how you really feel.

@kegmankipp's favorite seller frenchfelger just sold another set of wheels on BaHaT.

These also sold for $4900 + fees + shipping/duties from Japan. Could be near $6k all-in, shipped to USA.

But they're the skinny 17-inch 2-piecers for standard 124! Bidder #3 bailed at $3800, #4 dropped at $1900.

thats a little insane! now if these were aero 3, fully redone, non welded - maybe. thats almost the price i paid for 3 piece HREs back in the day.

ill build my aero 2s out eventually and hopefully will make them look (cooler?) as the regular fitments have no depth in the wheels which in my opinion, make them look a little basic minus the flash of the rivets

 

[Jimbo]

Gosh, I have 6 of these rims....4 at 8.5" and 2 at 10".....all in excellent shape.

What should/could I expect for a return on my investment?

 

[PJmak]

I sold a pretty rough set(no bends or cracks just really bad shape with a lot of rash) for 2500USD.

Currently still have an extra set next to the one on my car.

 

[BRN9121]

Wow, I am speechless.

 

[BRN9121]

I am still looking for a front spoke plate.
If anyone has one in good shape, please do let me know.
Thank you guys

Nice wheels are bringing top $$. Set of Ruf 930 wheels 9x17 and 10x17 recently sold for $12k

 

[gsxr]

Another data point, these just sold on MBM for $4800 plus fees / shipping from Canada, eh. Seems high for non-refinished / non-refurbished wheels, no?

It was a 2-horse race, bidder/horse #3 bailed at $2800, #4 at $2550.

NO RESERVE Staggered 2-Piece 18" AMG Aero II Monoblock Wheels by BBS For Sale | The MB Market

Bid for your chance to own these Staggered 2-Piece 18" AMG Aero II Monoblock Wheels by BBS at No Reserve on The MB Market. The wheels measure 8.5″ and 10″ in width and were manufactured by BBS in Germany for use on Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

[thebrinksman]

I'm potentially in the market for a set of these...was watching that auction but fact that they're not reconditioned and in that range, no bueno.

 

[gsxr]

Although I think these wheels look fantastic, I couldn't make myself spend $5k+ for used wheels, when you can get brand-new NEEZ in 036-appropriate width/offset for <$4k USD delivered. But if nothing else floats your boat, and you've got to burn...

 

[BRN9121]

I have a pair of refurbished front ones I am prepared to sell. I live in Bahrain so shipping to the US would be around $600.
PM me if interested.

 

[BRN9121]

It's nice to have friends who know people... brand new outta da box!
God bless 'em.

Might want to put a big water mark on that photo before it ends up on countless benzamgdealer yata yata scam pages on instagram and facebook…
