Any friendly member that could help me out ? I bought a set of monoblock VI on the net recently its 18inch 225/45 F 255/35 R authentic. Will it fit 05 sport sedans? thanks for the help ~ 

Member
I don't know....what's the offset on those wheels? I bellieve the front won't fit since 05 C230K SS has a big front sport break caliper. You probably would need at least a 8 mm spacers on the front. The rear wheels have no problem.

The front offset should be ET30. You can buy a set of hub-centric adaptors from Brabus NA.

Thanks for the help Harris ...guess i should visit brabus sometime this week...just wondering if spacers or hub-centric adaptors be more useful...and cost less...btw where is ur shop located? might be interested to come by and have a check

I have monoblock VI's but they're 19s. I used Brabus 12mm spacers all the way around and they look great. You probably want to lower it with Brabus springs to make it look the way Brabus intended... They have standard spacer sizes which they recommend for C class sedans (16 mm front and 12mm rear)...but the rear tires on the c class can't be pushed out like they can on the other models so I went 12mm all the way around because the fronts stuck out further than the rears and looked a little strange...

I'm shopping around for these wheels, but the "real" Brabus ones are $447 a piece for 18 x 8.5 adn $553 a piece for 18 x 9.5, without tires. I've found ACE Alloy makes the SAME style, the same rim, for $399 a piece. Now, my question is, does anybody know of any other companies that make the same style rim as teh Brabus Monoblock V? Such as the AMG style on the C55's and E55's, TSA makes a copy-cat version for less, they were in a thread on here sometime last week. The wheels are below.

So whats everyones point of view on the Brabus VI Reps? Who makes the best rep for these wheels in 19"?
Senior Member
I would say ACE Allure.
I may go with those or the SL65 style AMG wheels from Neal (BlackC230Coupe)
He has good prices and he's in S. Florida. Try to PM him.

Moven are known to make the best replica of the Brabus VI. It was so good,Brabus Sued the pants off them. Go with Movens if you can find any. Ive seen them in person and the only way i can tell they are fakes is by look for the brabus logo. Get 4 brabus center caps and movens and you are set.
Senior Member
waht do you guys think, i love the center peice color-matched


wondering has anyone done simlar mod like this, and anyone know the price qutoe to get that done?!
