Thumbs up

Excellent look, Like the C32's.

I would have voted for AMG's as well. Dont like poseurs with replica gear.

Wheels look great. I personally don't mind replicas, seems like a better deal to me, plus I'm from the midwest and no one knows what Brabus even is, much less what is real/fake. I can understand why you SoCal guys care though. :-)

Talk

to the people who sold you the wheels. If they didnt tell you that you needed spacers to make them work on the car that speaks volumes for their reputation.

almost bought 18" staggered brabus mono vi replicas for $600 (w/o tires)... but went on with 17" AMGs... for me, replica is replica... it's not authentic...

on the other hand, since it was soooo cheap, i would've got the replicas iff i was the only one driving that car...
