Looks somewhat like the Brabus V. I personally don't like it one bit. I'd go for the Brabus if you're into that look.

If you are spending the money on HRE's, there is nicer to be had then that wheel IMO.

John,
there are some really nice HRE wheels out there for the Coupé...
The one pictured, looks alright, but not my favorite HRE.

I think AUTOWERKS (MBWerks) has some good ones on their site, and a few other distributors.

Black, Gun-Metal, or Chrome would really stand out and look good on your red Coupé.

I would rather have plastic hub caps that come on some entry level MB models with steel wheel...

They don't look good...

I the UK (where I am from) the "Classic" W203 comes with hub caps/steel wheels - you hav to upgrade to "SE Package" to get 7 spoke alloy wheels etc.

Ahhh, I see. I can't say that I would rather have plastic over these wheels.

Thanks again for all the opinions guys.

I know hub caps look awful (my hint being that those alloy wheels are very bad :p ) - Don't do it and find some nice ones instead

Is there a huge price difference between these rims and all other HRE's? If not, then I have to say that every other offering from them is much better.

But it's your car...

These are a bit cheaper than the rest, and I agree that there are other nice looking rims. I am still on the hunt and will hopfully find something.

When you got your Brabus V's, who had the best price? Do you mind me asking what you spent?

C320 Coupe
HREs are excellent wheels. Looks like a 440 series. There are a lot of options for the Centers if you want to stay with this quality of rim. I don't care for this center either.
