white and whiter
depends on the realism of the replicas prices very. Some are very very close to the real thing in look. There are even 2-piece replicas of the mono VI that someone was selling in classifies forum. Some are just horrible that looks no where close to the real thing.

o wow.
thanks for the fast reply....
$5000,......wonder if HRE would be a better choice, since now the price range is around $5000

Honestly, you should check up with our sponsors with what you want to see the best deal they can give you. That'd be the easiest way to see if you can afford the rims that you want. On top of that, a lot of them do wheel/tire packages

Love these wheels
. The bolt-to-wheel (more wheelspecific you could say) spacers are awesome, but I think 12mm all around is overkill. With 5mm in the rear alone it rubs (if you're lowering and want alignment back to spec), so be careful and shave fenders
.

1 more thing, when my firends and i were just chatting about wheels, they dont get why brabus wheels cost so much. to be honest, i dont know why either...
they are not extremely light weight or anything... i know that HRE are custom made and thats why they cost a lot.
AMG wheels and Brabus wheels, i dont quite get... my firend was like "just get BBS, best wheels for the money"
so now im just confused

brabus has been a tuner for benz for a while now. they have created themselves a reputation not many other wheel companies can compare to. and to add the euro > dollar exchange rate isn't so friendly as it was a few years back... either way... just get what you would like not necessarily what others like... spend on what your budget allows too. =) FYI I'm on a 5th and final set of wheels just this year alone.. I was a happy owner of some 18" staggered Brabus Mono V's... for 4 years..

ronalusa makes regular mercedes wheels, or amg's i remember seeing someone on fourm post a wheel of their factory wheels,(benz/amg) and it stamped RONAL on it
www.ronalusa.com
i acturally like the LZ style(2pc) of ronal wheels, but w/ chrome lip and painted center, on 19s the price comes out to be like 4800... id rather get some"designer brand" that everyone knows the value!... haha, call me a brand *****....

I'm pretty sure those wheels would fit... if you want to be a 100% sure, i suggest you go and use the "search" feature in the forum. Believe it or not, it actually works pretty well...

Group-Buy: 19x8.5 19x9.5 AMG style black center w/ polish lips
This is an official group buy for the AMG style 19x8.5 19x9.5 in black center w/ polish lips finish. The price is $799 shipped. Like stated in the interest thread 60 production plus 21 day freight before I get them and ship them out. Deposit is $150 per person.
This pic shows how the lip on the rear will look. This pic shows silver of course, but trust me when I say the finish will be high quality.

Gosh I wish my parents didn't buy my car and I would jump on this in a heartbeat since that is pretty much exactly what I want....black center AMG. Arg....sorry man wish I could.
In fact one of the main reasons for not getting them is simply the price of tires for 19 inchers
