Picked up a set of Brabus rims...

Found a deal too good to pass up on ebay. One rim needs repaired. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...5406909&rd=1,1
I have been in the market for a set of rims for awhile now. I planned on staying away from chrome and wanted to stay with 17s for performance and ride quality reasons. I can't tell from the pics on the auction if these are in fact authentic rims (says they are) but even if they are knock offs it seemed worth it for the price. I've been wanting a second set of rims so I can get a winter set and summer set and just swap rims and keep the tires on them. Anyway, I will post pics of them on the car once I have them.
Does anyone have a set of these rims on their ride? How do you like them on the car?

If its cracked, I would throw away the whole wheel and just have it replaced. Good deal nonetheless.

The seller sent me larger pics. These are in fact authentic Brabus rims! I will see how bad the one cracked rim is in person and find out how much it would be to repair (I have no clue) but for the amount I saved I might just pick up a new one as you suggested.

That's a good deal. Just wondering what tires would be the correct size? I guess it will be 225/45/17, right? Anyone??

It will fit at least a 255/45 in the back. Probably going to go with 225 or 235 up front.
