Yea, those are the sport sedan brakes with silver caliper paint and brembo decals. I had a thread with some closeup pics a while ago.

The spacers are no big thing, just make sure you get the ones designed to work with the BBS wheels (and longer lugs to match) and you'll have no vibrations or any issues.

My 17s at stock ride height look fine compared to 99% of other cars out there, but not compared against a modded Coupe like yours.

I'm digging through older folders looking for pics of the wheels on the car... I know I've taken some, but can't find 'em right now. I'll post some new ones when I get the car back from some maintenance and mods (or I can take a couple of just the wheels - they're in my basement currently, w/ the factory C7 wheels back on the car while it's in the shop).

How do you upload pics into a post or reply? TIA

Thanks man. Post pics when you have a chance. I use www.photobucket.com for hosting my pics and just use the image tags.

Yeah, the Brabus looked nice, but these look just as nice and are a lot lighter! So it served more than one purpose.

I appreciate your honesty. I've been told the same thing by others as well, but to me the BBS are more aggressive looking, more exclusive, and light as hell! It's gotten to the point where people assume all Brabus wheels are replicas and everybody and their mother (literally) has them. The fact that I'm planning to run these wheels on my next (see non-MB) car by just changing the hub rings and bolts is an added bonus!

Thanks. Good amateur photographer

Considering the bad lighting, it came out better than I thought it would.
