Question Wheels Opinion

Next week I am going to order an 18" x 8.5" Brabus Monoblock VI style wheels from Skyc_International. However it's a repuliqet and the buy price is $1050.00 for four. If you guys are curious what it looks like go to ebay and type in BRABUS. I'm a little nervouse ordering this. First of all will the quality stand-up to the original and will this look good on my car? I think it does looks good on the car. However I just want your guys opinion. I have brilliant silver CLK430. If you guys agree if these are good wheels I will order and will be putting 9" or 10" wide tires on the rear just to beef the rear up a little. Thanks for your thoughts guy. PLEASE..............LET ME KNOW SOON.

Pretty sure you won't be able to fit 10" rims/tires in the back- I had to roll my fenders to fit my 9.5" Monoblock Vs.

Why would you want replica (repuliqet?) Brabus rims?

Sorry I can't write or spell today. It's been a long day. I don't want a replica, but if the replica's has the same quality, looks and the price is right why not?

Why not 10"? With the correct offset, you may be able to put a 10" wheel in the rear w/ little fender mods.

I think the Brabus Mono V 2-piece, 18x9.5 has an offset of +26, correct?

i don't think they have the same quality. i have pics of an AMG multi-piece replica that is rusting through the bolts on the wheel. i will post pics when i get home tonight.

I have 19X10 in the rear and it fits fine. Had to roll the fenders since the car is lowered.
