there are a lot on eBay.... but it's easy to identify between replicas and real... replica is a single piece rim trying to look like multi-piece. real one is real multi-piece. Also the replica doesn't have the brabus mark, "B" cap on the wheels, instead the replica use the star cap on oem MB wheels.

Get real.

Let's face it. They Are Over Priced. People who live up here in Canada where $1 U.S is like $1.60 canadian can efford that stuff? NO... $5000 wheel package is like $8000.00 Canadian + Shipping + Duty = more like $10,000. You tell me who in their right mind would pay 10 grand for wheels up here guy's.

Brabus sure has an overrated impression of itself. AMG still out classes it as far as I am concerned.

True dat, $90K is alot of money. Brabus thinks highly of themselves.

For $90k get a E55, or a C32 and a M3.
