I man after my own heart ! like your choice :)

For me it took me ages to choose my wheels and like you I finally settled on the Brabus Monoblock VI reps and so glad I did !

I bought them from a local shop in Glasgow and got the fronts 8.5J and went wider on the rear on 9.5J, I also stuck on some 15mm rear spacers to kick them out further ! I am sure the shop has a website and may have a local distributer near you. Leave it with me and I will call them and find out the website again.
I bought them for the handsome price of £650 inc Falken tyres and they are still going strong nearly 18months later. One thing I would recommend though is due to the salt on the roads at winter and as they are a machined diamond cut finish, it would pay to get them laquered before you use them or you can do it yourself by buying paint laquer from Halfords and giving them a good couple of extra coats. It is not that the wheels are cheap, as most diamond cut finishes are very easy to chip especially as the rims petrude from the tyre.
Well worth it though for the stunning looks !

I love the look of your Car!
I've ordered some eibach pro lowering kit also picked up some #1 spring pads from local MB today!
All i need is new Alloys now. £650 inc tyres is very good price tbh! I was looking to buy some 18" 5 spoke AMG reps before and they were like £850 inc tyres. When i saw yours i knew i had to get the wheels you got. Thanks for your info for laquering them.
Thanks for your help!

OK so lets give you some info here. I called the shop and they have a website too whcih links to a seperate alloy wheel website called 'Alcar'. I asked if they would send down to Doncaster and they said it is fine, but give him a call and you can describe exactly what you want with what make of tyres etc.

The websites are:
Welcome To Dunlops Motor Factors tel 0141 333 1343
ALCAR WHEELWRIGHT - wheel rim alloy steel tire AEZ DOTZ DEZENT ENZO LEAGUE BSA |Tyre packages


Also as you have the same car as me you may find that after you get the install on your Eibach Pro Kit, you may find that the rear is a bit high even with number #1 pad. I have posted on another forum about methods of getting the rear lower you may find intersting. PS Make sure you get a full four wheel alignment done as the alignment will change and you dont want to chew up your new tyres.
The info is here:

Good Luck
