scrapyard shopping

[vin85]

Did a little bit of scrapyard shopping for mercedes wheels this morning and this is what i got was recommended

19 inch rims with tyres:$1,600 w/o gst

18 inch rims with tyres: $1,200 w/o gst

What do you guys think?

[asiadj]

looks not bad... but still back to urself see u like it nt..

[Asuma]

The 18" looks better, spray it black and it will look sweet.

 

Where do you go to look for such deals?

[vin85]

Haha OC prefer the 19 inch but thinks both too expensive. There's actually one AMG 5 spoke rims with tyres that i cannot upload. But even i think its too expensive. $1,800 i might as well buy new ones.

How much does a set of 19 inch rims and tyres usually cost in singapore?

Wao really? Rims and tyres package in malaysia about the same price but in RM lol. Really cannot compare apple and orange sia.

[retiefgoosen]

rim and tyres in malaysia same price?

for branded and original will be more or less the same after conversion

 

please note those which advertised as AMG "style" rims

usually means from taiwan

and yes, you can get those 500 ringgit per piece or 2k per set

The 18" rims looks like replica amg to me. If so then it isn't worth the price.

Turn it around and see if there is any part number engraved, with the mb logo and rims specs too.

Just thinking.. is it possible to get a set of fold-able rear seat for the W204 from scrapyard and retrofit on a non fold-able version?

anything is possible mate but foldable seats are not a common option for the W204 in Japan and Uk which most half cut will be sourced from

and the mechanism also require you to have the boot release lever which might be difficult to retrofit
