Brabus Rims
Me Again....
I'm interested in getting a set of 17" or 18" Brabus Monoblock VI single piece aftermarket rims. Are Brabus rims strong? I live in Boston and lets just say they roads in some places are down right lethal!! :wall: I went through two sets of aftermarket rims in my last car and then I decided to get a set of factory forged rims. Other rim manufactures are welcomed... :y Thanks |
Hi
I have the 18`s on my c32 and the rims are weak, scratch easily and the lacquer is starting to peel. The center cap has peeling also, its going back to the dealers soon.... |

Have you looked into HRE Performance wheels?
|
Thanks for the responses guys!! :y I might take a chance with a set of 17" single piece Brabus wheels. In the meantime I will look into HRE rims as well.
Keep the responses coming!! :y Thanks |
Brabus wheels 1 piece are nice, but they are heavy and you might regret getting them when you have to change tires for winter/summer etc.
besides HRE, try DPE, i've heard they aren't bad, whereas i've heard some not-so-pleasant things about HRE's. |
How much heavier do you think the Brabus 1 piece rims are compared to the stock AMG Rims?
|
Stock AMG rims from the dealership are expensive.... I had 19 in Brabus Reps and I had 1 instance that I had to replace the rim... and it wasn't city driving..it was highway pot holes...... I live in boston too... :-)

if I was you,
look for stock AMG rims from CLK, SLK, C.... Brabus is nice, but not worth the money unless you want to have flash instead of performance. I paid $1025 for my wheels...from Ebay. They look exactly the same as the C55 but my rear is 255 not 245. I was looking at the SLK55 rims, but they wanted $2000. |

you are right, the 255/245 is not a noticeable.
My wheels were came off a new CLK55 cabrio, 05. Top shape with the Conti's tires and rims were clean. I'll await to upgrade to PS2's next year after. handling was improved a bit, but I still need to lower my car, since the front sits too high. |
I have a set of staggered 18" Brabus Monoblock VI replicas in my garage. I drove with them for 2 years around New Jersey and New York. And the first year i left them on through the winter months. I just took them off recently to put the stocks back on and they still have no bends on them. Definitely very strong wheels. Infact, I managed to slightly bend my stock 16" wheel around the roads I drive and never damaged the 18" replicas around the same roads. I tried to sell them on here once but was unsuccessful

I have Brabus V1 2 piecewheels no probs at ell except for self inflicted damage. Very good strong wheel..now HRE...lol
