It's time for a fresh look and I figure there's no reason to keep such nice wheels as a spare set. I'm selling my authentic 18x8.5/9.5" (35ET offset) Brabus Monoblock VI wheels with basically brand new BFG KDW2 tires (purchased, mounted, balanced 7/7/07 - less than 500 miles), plus lug bolts and 5mm Brabus spacers that I used in front to allow for extra coilover and BBK clearance. Tire specs are 225/40/18 (F) & 255/35/18 (R).

The wheels have been babied and are in excellent condition with no bends, curbs, or cracks... just minor scratches and rock chips from daily driving. I am taking them off the car today and will post up high-res shots of each wheel. I would prefer a local CA buyer so I don't have to deal with shipping and am willing to meet at a mutually agreed upon location, but will ship at the buyer's expense, if necessary.

My asking price is $2,000 FIRM due to the excellent condition of the wheels and the fact that I just spent $800 on new tires. Lowballers (even though expected) will be ignored.

According to Brabus the wheels will fit W203, W208, W209, W210, R170, and R171.

hmm...did these clear your TEINs alright without spacers?

is there BBK clearance F/R?

Blake P

I used the 5mm Brabus spacers supplied with the wheels up front to bring the offset to 30ET. I never tried them without the spacers because I didn't want to have any clearance issues. Not sure if you've seen how the Brabus spacers work, but they actually fit into the wheel (I call them "wheel-centric") so there is absolutely no vibration. As for rear BBK clearance, I can't say FOR SURE but there's only like 2" lip in back and LOTS of clearance between my stock rear calipers and wheel spokes. The fact that these wheels are also used for CLK55 and SLK55 fitment leads me to believe that there would be no issues with rear BBK.

how much is shipping to 02135?

Blake P

I'd guess around $200 from CA to your neck of the woods using FedEx ground, but I'd have to get them all packaged up for an exact quote.

My bad, I'll try to get some snaps today. I ran out of sunlight by the time I got done with all my "honey-do's" yesterday.

I've seen these things in person and they're in great condition. Blakey is a good guy who meticulously cares for his vehicle and wheels.

Bump for a deal!

Replied to all PM's this morning, thanks for the interest fellas! I'm sorry for lagging on pictures, but after finally putting on the new wheels last night, it was already dark. I'm gonna try to leave work earlier today, if possible.

post pics of the new wheels!

Blake P

Sorry for the delay on taking pictures, but I've been super busy with work lately...dark when I leave, dark by the time I get home. As you can see, the wheels are in excellent condition and the tires are essentially brand new. Here they are:
