Pretty easy to spot a fake Mono VI from afar.

Only time it's difficult is when the rims are dirty.

you wont get the rims and tires for 2500. the package listed there totals $3440 after the 12.5% discount on the rims and 5% discount on the tires.

i could still beat that for you though....

you should see the Brabus imprint in authentic wheels and in replicas, you'll see the valve stem sticking out if they're fake two piece wheels (with tires mounted)...

which wheels are you considering off ebay?? they may be mine?? 19" mono VI for your w211?? anyway, if so they are definately the real thing are they're in perfect shape, I am taking offers now, so let me know by pm or email...thanks

if they cost under 1k, then it's fake.
if they cost over 3k, then it's real.

Buy AMG Brabus Carlsson??

Anyone knows where to buy AMG Brabus or Carlsson bodykits and wheels? I browsed everywhere and couldn't find it online. Please advise,

Anyone can advise which one I should go? I want to modify my W211. Either go with Brabus, Carlsson, or AMG.

Thanks,
