MonoBlock S (Details)
Hello,
I already have some info on new MonoBlock S. Because it's design it's a good rim to show off your Big Brake Setup.
I wanted to put to the SportCoupe 7.5J*18 225/40 and 8.5J*18 245/35.
1.- One thing very stange is that Brabus put in his brochure that 8J*17' ET30 don't work with the CDI; and I have those rims installed with C30CDI brakes without any problem. (see pic)
2.- The front rims 7.5J*18 have an offset of 38 after using a 16mm spacers. I'm not sure if they will clear the AMG 4 pistons calipers with such offset, and a 54mm original offset rim???? (It's sounds like it's a rim for an other car, no?).
3.- If you look to the rims nearly all need some spacer... (I don't like this).
Monoblock S have good price.
Best Regards.

I like a lot the new design; what I don't like is to have to use a 16mm spacer front and a 20 mm spacer rear to have a setup that still has the rims too inside the car.
At front Monoblock S 37mm offset vs Monoblock VI 30mm offset (actual).

I found the Frabus clones on ebay today. $800 for a set with brabus caps
For those who are interest in these heres the link.
They are nice but I don't believe in putting fake wheels on a Benzo.
