If you look at both wheels from a distance, they look quite similar. IMO, Monoblock VI (2-piece) has a slight slight edge over Style IV. It looks more elegant. But I think Brabus is slightly heavier than AMG.

My wheels are 33 pounds each made by Ronal.
C 32 have some good poines so weight to me does not really matter. If I had a slower car the Renntech Monolights would be good.
I like the VI Newer and doper style.

If you are replying to me mine are genuine Brabus, Ronall is the manufactor..If you are replying to the thread starter, any replica wheel on a C32 is sacralidge.

Ronal does in fact make the wheels for Brabus.. if you look at the wheels closely, there is ronal etched into the wheels.

white and whiter
buy two of brabus for one side and two of amgs for the other side. people only can see one side of your car anyway

ok, enough joking. personally i'd go with amg simply because the car is a amg. Brabus rims are heavier, but if you like it then get it. If I were to get Brabus rims, I would do what AMG BRED is doing to his CLK55, and get all out Brabus.

your car, your choice.

F1 has a really nice c-class with full Lorinser kit and they use different rims on each side of the car. one side is lorinser LM5 and the other side is lorinser too but i forget which model. having different rims on both sides is nice if its a show car.
