i lower the car a little since thats what i would do next after getting the wheels. they look good !! i have a red one too.

I AM IN AS OF NOW IN BLACK
i don't care about the 3 month wait, that gives me more time to get the money together for the wheels and tires.

How much would a set of used wheels like these cost?

There's an ebay auction up for a set of used (mint cond) Brabus Mono VI 19" replicas in silver. How much are they worth? Also if they're 19x8.5 with 38/37 offsets, will they fit my 02 C320 Sport?

Frank,

I'm interested in the MBVI rims. Would it be cheaper if we picked it up instead of shipped?

It'll be $749 if you want to come pick them up. Don't forget like I mentioned in the other group-buy threads, the production period takes 60 days + 21 days overseas before it gets to the manufacturer's warehouse where it'll be shipped out. also for California resident there is a 8.25% state tax.

btw, just wondering why would you be interested in trading the SSR GT3 for replica rims??

Nevermind, I'll just keep my SSR rims. I just wanted an extra set of rims, and I always liked the look of the MBVI. Plus, $750 is so cheap compared to what I paid for the SSR GT3 so it's still a great deal.

Assuming they clear C55 brakes without spacers, I'm in for a set of staggered.
