I wasent aware that they were THAT good. thanks

www.thewheelsupply.com is your answer. they carry Movens, but I'm not sure if Moven still sell the mono VI style.

PM me and I'll point you in the right direction. I purchased my Movens (19" staggered 8.5/9.5") with Falken tires (235/35, 265/30) for under $2K USD shipped.

The real difference is the value and stem. On real Brabus rims its hidden much better.

That has been posted several times. Offset also depends on wheel size and the tires you plan to mount.

STFF and be more specific in your questions; i.e wheel size, tire size.

I just got Brabus Mono IV (replica) for my car 8.5x19 F and 9.5x19 R offset 38 all around. My car tires are 235-35-19 F n' 265-30-19 R However, I had to do big job for my car rear fender. Also I lowered my car around 2-2.5 inches ( coilover). I think offset 35 will be the best choice. Also if you are planing to change your suspension to coilover, you may need 32 offset in the front. I put 5mm specer in the front, and everything is find. In case, you can't find offset 32 for replica Brabus. I hope I can help you something. If you want to see my car picture please give me ur email address. Good luck!!

c320TM,

What type of 5mm spacer did you use in the front? Can you feel vibrations while driving?

W Cole,
I'm using 5mm H&R spacer. I was facing vibrations problem in the first day, so I decided to do wheels balancing one more time. And it fixed vibrations problem.
