Anyone know how much will the tire shops offer?

A friend told me that used OEM rim is essentially worthless.

BTW, rims have rashes as well.

Itching to change to 18" rims.

Thanks a lot.

General market rate $100.

They're certainly not worthless. MB OEM wheels are manufactured by Borbet, which also contract manufactures for VW, BMW.

Be selective over your next set of 18" wheels. Take note of the weight and finish quality as compared to your OEM wheels. Not every wheel is created equal.

If anyone is keen on 9.5/10 condition BBS CK 18" with almost new Goodyear F1 A2 tyres, travelled less than 200km, please PM me. Thinking of reverting to stock rims and tyres.

Only keen on "new" stock rims and tyres (less than 100 km travelled preferably). Thanks!

Ok back to this topic again.... i'm thinking to trade in my new 17inch OEM rim on the same day after collection? How much i can fetch and any recommended tyre shop (address) for best deal?

I'm also thinking to change to 18inch rim.

One of our sponsors, Top93, gave me a very good *trade-in* price for my OE rims. BL, Pitstop and LS also gave me very good numbers. I didn't go down to Southeast, but I've heard good things too through friends, colleagues and of course, forum-trolling. Of course, the more you drive around, the less the *trade-in* $ will be. So go talk to them before your ride comes so you can do a day 1 swap.

Also, 18s are good, but at least take a look at the 19s. Visually, very big difference. :)
