It's not a mercedes rim, it's a rim made FOR Mercedes.

So just wondering...why do you still have the Pioneer brand on your sound/nav system? Why not just slap a mercedes sticker on it or something since it's ON a Mercedes car...same principle, just different application » an aftermarket product.

Mercedes doesn't make the stereo anyway, so your logic is flawed.

And trust me, once you put 19s on your car, you will never go back to "puny" 17s-18s.
a stock c32 may look alright, if mediocrity is your standard. it may look good, but why settle for good when you can have FABULOUS? modded c32

you are right, maybe mediocrity is my standard, but w/ the performance that comes with the C32 I'd take one over any modded C320/240/230k anyday. Performance & praticality over look is more important to me. That's just me tho, I can't speak for anyone else.

Different people different strokes.
Tifo: My logic isn't flawed. You're not "feelin me".
Pioneer Nav/DVD = Aftermarket part/heart and soul of center console and your quintessential electronic guide to wherever you want to go.
Brabus/any aftermarket rim = Aftermarket part/heart and sole of center of tires, quintessential to even drive your car to wherever you want to go.
You have PIONEER slapped on the dash, why? Because the dash units are all made by what? PIONEER. Apply this logic to your rims.
Mercedes makes their own sound/nav system. it's called COMAND.

Either way, I'm not going to argue. IMO the 'B' looks cheap and the star looks in it's place in the center of any rim on a mercedes. If you like the 'B', by all means, use it...I just don't like it. And I don't think having a 'B' makes it look any more real or not. Just my opinion...someone asked if they would put it on a real set...I said yes.
I am the same way with my C7s. I don't like the blue reef...I wanted the simple silver star. Yes, it makes it look like the cheaper copy, but i think it makes it have a cleaner look...and I could care less if people think they are copies or originals...I am not looking to impress anyone.
