... So do the Muranos have tires? We still might be able to make this work

Yes, they do. The front are some "decent" Bridgstones, the rears are Toyo TR1's with ~5k worth of wear on them. The wheels have some scratches, scuffs, etc.

Let me know what you're looking to spend and I'll let you know what's out there (ebay, ect). I'm always looking at/for wheels. I'd really like to have a set of the G35 forged 19" Rays.

Thanks Rex I currently looking at these

F50 18's with tires.

I am getting the guy to check the tread depth. He wants 800 shipped. Depends on the tires really.

I figured it would cost around 1000 for muranos with new tires based on ebay for the wheels and tirerack for the tires

400 wheels 500 tires 100 tax mnt balance

I think the f50's are about as perfect as you can get with 40 offset and 245/45/18s

That's a nice deal, but I'd say you can do better .

From a fitment stand point you'd be better with 18x8 +35, not that +40 is bad.

From a wheel and tire stand point, you should be able to get SSR GT-7 (semi-solid) forged 17x8.5 +35 for $119 each off tirerack and there are 5 tire options (255/45/17 98 load rating) for $102 or less, and the Avon Tech M500's for $114 each.

That's $476 for 4 new (semi-solid) forged wheels.Plus $456 for 4 new (proper load rating & diameter) tires.Mount and balance for free ... Hunter road force machineAllow ~$100 for shipping and you've got a brand new set (hunter road force balanced) for ~$1000 on yoru front door step.Not bad, IMHO.

There are plenty of other options out there depending on what you "really want" - 17's, 18's, forged, wide, chrome, etc?

Let me know, I'll hunt you something up.

Keep in mind I got my Z33 Forged Rays 18's with nearly new tires for $800 shipped. Just a matter of watching ebay and find the deals .

The link is dead, it was early last Spring/Summer. I drove on them for 3-4 months and then sold them for "Market Value" . There are lots of "deals" out there for wheels, it's just a matter of having the funds and watching all the "right places". A good hunter never givces up all his spots .

The SSR's are nice, but too sporty for the G50 in my opinion. The z33 wheels sound pretty good, but the front tires probably had the wrong load rating.

I like the stock look. Something less likely to get stolen. I want something to make the car MBZesque.
