I am thinking about these in the 18", but will 8 inches wide all around be funky? What are my current wheel widths with the staggered setup? By the looks of the spokes there should be clearance for the big calipers, but is there any way to tell for sure? Anything else I need to know with this wheel?

Thanks for the tip. I just noticed that they offer an optional rear fitment if I go with the 19", is 9.5 in the rear too wide? I still don't know what my current rears width is. Also I was trying to stay away from 19s because I don't want to have to run skinnies or anything. I am in a Maine and the roads here are beat. Any more tips greatly appreciated, thanks again guys.

Anyone knows the weight of Brabus monoblock VI in 18"??
I really liked to see them on ONEBAD230 car, what are the differences between them and real brabus wheels? I noticed that the replicas are a bit shiny...
I only don't like the huge lip on the rear wheels, does the brabus wheels have it?!

Hi guys, I need your help,
I'm thinking on... buying new wheels
but I don't know what to buy!
I was looking on Rubensans Brabus monoblock wheels, but I want to upgrade to a lighter wheels, since I'm doing some performance mods also.
I'm tired looking for wheels, and the lack of coupe pics with them are not facilitating things!
Till now I have a folder full with pics of wheels, but don't know what to choose! Some I like but too heavy or only in 19" or up or even $$$
list for 18":
BBS- all look like the same to me and kind of BMW type, but ligth wheels
HRE- like almost all but, huge lip on the rear ones, don't this aspect, love the M40 but only in 19"
Carlsson 1/11- like, don't know many info about it, specially weight
Brabus- monoblock VI 2 piece, like but heavy!?
OZ- ultraleggera, like but will give a Honda "look" to my MB and not staggered
Wich wheels do you guys think it would fit best on the Coupe!?

BUT, i bought new tires last week, 255/35/18 and wala! no more rubbing as of yet! it's such a relief, although i miss that wide look.
don't know about 18's, but maybe if you search something will pop up. or someone more knowledgable will shine through

19x8 +32 235/35/19
19x9 +35 265/30/19
so in the fronts i am rubbing a tiny bit at full lock. not really worried. the rear rubs the inside fender liner at about3 oclock when i take a turn too fast if i go over a dip too fast. rear shocks are kind worn so stiffer suspension may fix it. i dont think i'll have anybody sitting in my rear anymore lol
i like the way the rear sits right now but the fronts gotta go down an inch or 2. what do you guys think about a 10mm spacer in the rear? do you think it'll help with the rubbing?

i might be getting ahold of a set of KW V2s soon. i know the fronts need it
i'll be trying 10mm spacers in the rear to see if it helps with the rubbing in the rear. 5mm in the front for coilovers

update:
fixed most of the rubbing in the rear so i can take a turn faster than a granny (without passengers and cargo in the rear anyways) by shaving the urethane impact strips inbetween the fender and bumper. the tiny bit of rub that remains when cornering a bit faster with a tiny dip should be solved with some stiffer suspension.

07 staggered wheels are 37 front/30 rear.. 23 sounds ultra-low, since MB OEM ranges from 30 to 38 depending on the width/staggered vs non.
