Monoblocks. It does not matter if its a replica or not. Save your $ if you can, and put it into something else that does not depreciate. Ultimately it comes down to the look on the car.

Oh, and to answer your question, I like the Brabus wheels better. Go with them

So, how does that compare to spending $1,800 on a set of replicas vs. $2,500 on a set of one-piece forged rims? That's a difference of $700!
Sorry, your analogy doesn't exactly work in my mind.

Well, let's see. Comparing a $35K C230K to a $56K C32 or $60K C55? That's a difference of $21K-25K

But I do in a way agree, if the authentic version of my rims was only $700 more, I would've bought them definitely. In my case though, the difference was about authentic = replicas x 4. Oh well, replica newbies FTMFL.

when you can find a set of bbs LM's for 2500 bucks let me know!
reps are more like 900 bucks, maybe 1800 with tires. so its more like a 1600 difference if you find wheels for 2500, usually a good set of 3 piece wheels will run you over 3k. maybe brabus 1 piece forged would be around 2k like drex stated.
but whatever! lol, im jus saying not everyone can afford 3 piece wheels, i had my dtm kreuz's and my MRR's so far, and i like the MRR's jus as much as my 3 pieces.
i dunno, i think its all jus up to what you like, or what looks good. like i said jus dont pose the center caps trying to pawn them off as real. if you cant afford a 3piece set of wheels and you wanna mod your car, and replicas are gonna look jus as good, then i say go for it, better than staying stock!
