IMO, HRE makes one of the best quality forged wheels in the market. I am not too much into the Avus chrome bling bling style. Having said that, wheels selection is a personal preference. What I think will look good doesnt mean you will like it. If you need any help or advise, you are more than welcome to shoot me an e-mail.

I just have to say that spending that much $$$$ on wheels on a $30K car seems crazy to me 
But I guess we all do have different priorities.

The people that say that Brabus is heavy are either 2 things.
To broke to have the ****.
or
Drive a slow *** C Class and worry about weight.

845R:
19x8.5: 1346.40$
19x9.5: 1416$
19x10: 1452$
54xR:
19x8.5: 1121.60$
19x9.5: 1180$
19x10: 1210.40$
Those are the maximum prices per rim you should pay in those sizes. I still have to wait for a quote from my vendors to see who gives the best price, but that's the max you should pay.
Getting them painted black might got a $100 or so more per rim.

Oops, nevermind then. It's included in the price.
I was thinking of something else, another customer a week ago wanted to color match his car and he went to one of my vendors shop and they color matched it to his car (Obsidian) so that's why I still had that on my mind.
Thanks Harris!
