I think he's trying to describe the color of the wheel.. that it's somewhere between chrome and silver. The word he should be using is aluminish finish rather than aluminum tint. They also look like fake brabus to me.

HE IS hoping for some sorry pansy who can't distinguish his left nut from his right nut to buy them.

Wow, thats cheap someone would do that!! But personally, i would buy the knockoffs since they're normally so much cheaper, i can't justify spending more then double for a wheel thats almost the same. Later Chris

people these days. trying to pass replica as real things..sigh

no the other hand I'd buy the Brabus replicas too. The authentic Brabus are just too expensive. Besides most people bought them for style. I calculate the fair price for rims by AMG's price

I wouldn't either. No matter what rims I get I'll put the black MB center caps on it.

DO YOU know how generic the rims look if you put back the mercedes caps?

That alone diminishes the look of the rims i.e. makes them look fake/cheap...well except for amg.

In YOUR opinion. Everyone has a right to their own.

For me...I think nothing belongs in the center of a Mercedes rim then a three pointed star...no 'B' for me...real or not.

That's the whole point. I rest my case. You should only have the 3-pointed star for a Mercedes rim. A Brabus rim thus, should go with a "B".

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

any stock w203 for me looks too much like a family sedan...don't get me wrong i like the way a w203 looks, but by itself it looks too old/mature/daddy's & old aunt's car for me...even the c32, because of how many old farts *no offense meant* drive this model.

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

No...not exactly. When I meant mercedes rim I didn't mean a rim made by mercedes, I meant a rim ON a mercedes. All rims ON mercedes should have the 3 pointed star...nothing else. Just my opinion. I couldn't care about a B...no matter how much it cost.

that's like slapping a K-Mart monogram on a Louis Vuitton Monogram Bag...

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.
