I am down to these two wheels for my coupe, the 18" Brabus Monoblock V one piece or the Carlsson 1/6 diamond edition. I am leaning towards the Brabus, especially after I finally found pics of them on a black coupe. Please take a look -

Andrew, get the ones you like, not the ones people vote on. Making choices by popular opinion almost always assures mediocrity. I usually want something that other people don't have, anyways!

Carlsson!
havent seen carlssons being faked.....besides, brabus seems too popular in this forum, only means that ur running into a possibility of more look alikes there in the U.S.

Bruno, the US is a pretty big country so I dont think I'll be running into any cars that look just like mine. I actually had NEVER seen a Brabus rim on a car until I saw some V's on a CLK. I'm going for the Brabus, I like the spoke look better than the solid look. So, does $2650 installed seem like a reasonable price for Monoblock V one piece rims with 225/40-18 Pilot Sports all the way around?

I would try to get an offset like 235's in the front and 245's in the rear. Mine are 245/40/18's all the way around. I am, however getting 275's installed in the rear soon. Makes it look more aggressive.

$2650 is kinda a lot for one peice... i have found them for around $2400 for the wheels... try going to this place it gives a pretty good price range that you can compare to, to those shops in atlanta... and also i think rims in cali might be cheeper =\ www.adventon.com i think you might be able to order threw them too.. but im not sure... hope this helps

Ok, heres how I get $2650, $413 each from Adventon, $188 each for Pilot Sports from Tire Rack, plus $100 shipping (total), and $150 for my local tire shop do install and do lifetime balancing and for the owner to do it himself, not just some $6 an hour guy who might not be careful with them.
