I had the AMG mono before, not to be mean but I found that when you look at it from certain angle, it looks really ugly, at least to me...

I agree, "not too flash, but classy." And it has that clean look to it too. Gives a silver car a more 'fuller' look from the side as it is more 'covered' than other rims that have gaps or spaces (with spokes, etc.) But it does get boring sometimes. The Carlsson would stand out more, but not as much as Brabus V, as the 5 spoke design is common. The Brabus Vs definitely stand out more and gives the car a 'wilder' or 'tuned' look over the Monoblocks and the Carlsson.

A person that does not have a Mercedes thinks the AMG Monoblocks are special. If you have a Mercedes you know that they aren't that special. But I still like the AMG's. The Monoblocks have a classy and clean look about them it's like fubar said it is the perfect wheel for the 208. Except the BBS LM's. Mach 430 is right about the Monoblocks weight, about 27-28 lbs for the 18's

Are those from the CL? Time to lower that baby!

Ok guys, thanks for all the input, everyone is correct.
The Carlsson's look more agressive than the AMG Monoblocks, but the Monoblocks have that clean look more elegant.
But I wanted a newer looking wheel, agressive but also with a clean cut, and on 18 x 8.5F/ 9.5R, which I couldn't get with neither one.
I am going with the Brabus Monoblock VI!! It is a new design, it has a clean diamond cut, it is good looking and it is available in 18 x 8.5F/9.5R which are the sizes I was looking for.

They are from the 209 CLK.

Anyone know how much the BBS LMs are in 18"? Anyone make a replica?

Check www.tirerack.com they are not cheap, or www.wheelexperts.com, you might get a better deal.

I've seen lots of replica BBS wheels, but no LM, but some do come close, I think your best bet would be to try www.ebay.com they always have loads of replica wheels for sale.
