I bought an extra set of new M-B SLK 10-spoke 18" wheels with tires last year and had a set of Pirelli Wintersports put on them for winter use. They were shipped up from Florida for around $75 and they looked brand new. The seller said they had less than 10 miles on them and I believe it. I paid $1800 for the wheels with the Pirelli Pzeros (plus the shipping) and another $850 for the Wintersports from TireRack. I also had to pay a few more bucks to get the tires swapped out at a local tire store where they use a 'touchless' tire mounting machine. So I think $1300 is a very good price for new wheels and OE tires. Someone should jump on it.
I am keeping the new tires set aside wrapped in plastic stored down in my basement where it is cooler. When my current summer tires wear out I'll put this set on my summer wheels (these are the 5-spoke, twin spoke AMG wheels that come with the 030 AMG performance package). As for the winter set, I was really, really glad to have them. The summer tires are not driveable on any kind of snow or ice. The Pirellis Wintersports were great.
So I say go for it. Buy these wheels and get a set of dedicated winter tires for them. The lucky guy will be happy for it come next winter.....
