I drool over pics you all post and i must admit they are very nice, hre's etc..
every time i order a wheel all i get is ... sorry cant help, or yup np,only to find out that the offsets are all wrong and im getting rubbing issues.
I guess im asking for a little advice and a little enlightment as to what to got for........ i do like the c55 wheels or a similiar ones.

If you order from brabus, carlsson or lorinser, they have fittment charts, and as long as you order within these, they assure that there wont be rubbing or fittment problems.
Why do you order from part from the states when Kleemann, Brabus, Carlsson and Lorinser is much closer? They all provide wheels, springs, shocks etc.

i dont know what the pricing for brabus,kleeman,carlson etc is like in sweden, but listen to this...
I rang my nearest brabus centre and for a set of 18' monoblocks they quoted me....... £4.500GBP THATS APPROX $6.000USD. to me that is ridiculous.
And if brabus wants that sort of money then im more than sure that the rest are not far of that price.

have you talked to Harris at www.hartonmotorwerks.com or Peter at www.wheelexperts.com .. i am pretty sure you can work out a deal with them if you are willing to pay shipping from the states.

Brabus is probably very expensive 
But also it depends alot on where and from who you buy.
But I bough my Carlsson 2/5 BE 18" with new Goodyear F1 tires for 25 000SEK (about 1850£). If you look at the listprice, just the rims cost 3700£.
If you want to I can ask my friend if he can send to the UK, but he only sells Carlsson and Hamann rims.
