Me neither...
... that's why I came here... but I will get them for my car soon (within the next weeks), so I'll post pictures here then...I just made a (crappy) photoshop of a 203 with these wheels:
![](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h228/GrossmeisterB/th_s203kawBBSCV17Zoll.jpg)
Maybe they look a bit lighter in reality, but I really like the look of it!! The car on the picture is lowered with K.A.W.-springs, 50mm front / 20mm rear (2 inches front / 0.8 inches rear), I think it looks real great!!
I just can't decide if I should get the 40mm H&R springs, or those 50/20mm K.A.W.-springs...

BRABUS replica - where to buy?
I know i'm gonna get flamed for this, but i've searched the forums and can't seem to find a location where i can buy Brabus Monoblock VI replicas in Los Angeles.
Do you guys have any suggestions as to where i can get them locally?
Thanks.

Yeah, offset is 37mm, I think I'll get the wheels/springs first, and then have a look how "deep" they'll actually sit inside the wheel wells, and then maybe try some friend's spacers, to see what size would be best...I don't want them to rub, and I don't want to roll the fenders...well, we'll see...

I am running on 8.5" on ET 30 and don't have any problems with the front fenders.
The only problem I have is that with my KW var II I can't get lower, because I'll hit the coilover
![Frown](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
With the 215/35/18 tire I could drop another 0.5".
But I need a 1mm spacer, but then i need to work on my fenders, so I leave it alone.
sorry for the

I don't think they use those PFS-system, because in germany we need to have the famous TÜV-approval, and I had a look in the approval, and if it would use such PFS-system, there must have been a remark, but there wasn't...so I think that this is a "normal" wheel with offset 37...so I will try my friend's H&R-spacers then...

"CV 004 7.5 x 17 ET: 37.0"
In the TÜV-approval it says: "Einpreßtiefe (mm) : 32"
(offset (mm): 32)
So, what's that PFS then?? I just know the "normal" thing, which uses a plastic ring on the inside of the rim, which fits over the center of the hub on the brake-rotors...so how does that PFS look like?? In the TÜV-approval it says it uses some aluminium-thing for centering?
Thanks for your help guys, this forum is really really nice!!! :-)

Did you get new shocks to go with the springs? The stock shocks can't handle the shorter, stiffer springs and will eventually blow. My recommendation is a set of Koni adjustable shocks so that you can dial the firmness to your liking.

Tell them it cracked by itself. If it happened by hitting a curb or going through a pothole then they will not fix it or if you caused it. It has to be a manufactures defect for them to replace it. I got my right rear replaced due to a slight crack. I don't understand how it got cracked as I didn't hit a pothole or a curb, so they replaced it as a manufacturers defect.

I am looking at the AZA Z1 19" wheels at wheelmax but they dont have a size specific for a 2005 c class kompressor sedan. Any of you guys running on these shoes? can you give me an idea if the wheels will fit OR what measurements should I have?
My car is on stock AMG sport suspension with stock big brake calipers..well everything is stock. Thanks and I appreciate the help.
