Has anyone heard of DPE Engineering wheels? Do they fit w203 sedan? Cause I really like the DPE R06 Split.

I just check my PM and this is the info that Bruce gave me.
Thanks for your interests in our wheels. For our 19" 2piece forging line we will do 19x8F 19x10R(will fit W203 C class with fenders rolled). Brake clearance depends on the offset so we can work that out, shouldn't be a problem to clear Brembo brakes. Our standard finish is full polish, if you wish to have brushed aluminum or powdercoated centers there will be additional charges. Our price on a set of 19" wheels is $3102. If you have any more questions please let me know, I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks.

They look ok, but honestly I couldnt see myself paying that much for a non HRE, Fikse wheel. To start off, I think HRE level wheels have super inflated prices, but the market drives that so its understandable. But a brand I never heard of till today charging that much is...
Kind of like how introforged was selling their wheels for around $400 when they started out, and now they try to charge nearly double that...

What? They look better than mono VI? wow, talk about the opposite extreme of taste.
They look ricey to me, but that's just me, like c5 racing harts or something *forgot exact name*...But if they are forged, they are ****ing light! good deal for that kinda price...i guess

I also understand that DPE can't compare with HRE. HRE is way more expensive than DPE. $3000 something for 19" forged wheels is actually a very good deal to go with. I sure want to go with the DPE now. But personally I also think that the Brabus monoblock 6 does look better, but Brabus wheels are more expensive.

brabus wheels ARE expensive.true..but they have proven themselves in this industry..that is why BRABUS is soooo expensive/exclusive..brabus is a name most benz enthusiast trust..they have a respectable history..not saying these DPE wheels arnt nice..they are..but there is a reason why they cant charge you $5000 for a set..nothing good is cheap,nothing cheap is good..you get what you pay for..

The largest discount I have seen on HRE's is maybe a couple hundred $$. Thats off $1000 wheels. Now iforged used to sell for under $400, now they advertise for around double that. Of course many people are going to see discounts in the $200+ range more often than the HRE's of Fikse level wheels.
