his car got ditry over the weekend due to rain, but bare with the pictures. The center cap he decide to use are the authentic Brabus caps bought from us.

i'd sell my stock wheels right now and get these wheels as my other set of wheels if it weren't for the 19-inch tire prices. 18-inch tire prices are decent, but the jumps up for 19-inch tires.

P.S. How are these ones?

there are cheap tires if you are looking to only running them as spare.

This Lip looks better from Cappa(excuse me from using your signature), unfortunately you can only get the same size lip as the front you mentioned.



Which set of wheels that you are selling has the biggest rear lip now?
I think you should get your group buys in the sticky section because we have to go thru the threads or search function to look back at them all the time.

Hottest 19" wheels?

I'm thinking of getting some 19" Brabus Monoblock VI replicas in silver. If you guys can think of any that look hotter, let me know ASAP please!

no offense to Cappa, but I saw his wheels in person and they didn't look as hot as I thought they'd be. and, you're gonna pay 50% more for 18's than what you'll pay for 19's with Frank (I checked, I was gonna buy the same wheels from the place Cappa did and they're kinda pricey for replicas). if you're concerned about the lip, I'd say go to the AMG replica group buy.

either way, Frank's group buy is a STEAL! I'll say one thing though, both are pretty good and don't require spacers to fit the 05's. trying finding wheels (replica's for that matter) that don't need spacers for the 05's... good luck.

Please learn to Search the Forum. There is tons and tons of info and pictures of different MB wheels and opinions on them. FrankW is also having a great deal on 19in wheels like the AMG IV's and 1/16 replicas.

So help me understand. On the Mono VI replicas, will they be staggered with a lip in the rear? I read the original post to say there were two potential GBs, but now it sounds like you're saying these will not have the lippage, Frank. Just want to make sure I understnad what I'm signing up to. If there is no lip in the rear, I will go black AMG instead.

Thx,

JPOG

well its really up to your liking... cuz everyone has different opinions .. so what you like... you go ahead and purchase em and dont let anyone change your own liking... so go whereever your instinct goes.. good luck man

ps: it all depends on your budget also.. give us a price range and we can help you narrow it down for you .. but if money isnt an object for you .. then you can go HRE or iforged ... the you can get DPEs or DCR .. etc etc..
