cliffybabe,
where are you getting the replica lm6 from? How much did you pay?
hyepower,
Brabus wheels are extremely expensive. They are very nice wheels, but still this doesn't justify their exceptionally high price.
Many replica wheels (such is Moven's), are also good quality products;

I guess you can if you were to call everyone that uses these replecal theves, I guess Brabus has to include aall the MBZ Deallerships in the mix as well,,I guess Brabus would have to sue the place where there cars are bought from as well,, And if you iliminate the dealers,, brabus would have to sit on there asses,,
Hey maybe they can Mark up there asses,,
LOL
8 G's anybody

I , too, am looking for new 17-inch wheels for my new 2004 CLK-320 coupe.
I like the 5-spoke AMG ones but if I can get good ones and save some money, why not? I care about the looks but not the name.
My local tire guy show me a catelogue of replicas which look very close to the 5-spoke AMG. I do not know the brand of these replicas so I am not sure about the quality.
Now, if the Movens are good, where do I get them? Is there a web site where I can check these wheels?

I also don't mind putting on nice rims with no brand name, but only if they're not replica of the expensive brands. Why don't they get their own style? How would yal feel if Kia made a car that looks exactly like the CLK??

Why should i pay someone 4,000 more if i can have the same thing on my car for a 1/3 less. Its all bout the name. Brabus should really reduce there prices. I know wheels make a bit of difference from the cars performance, but not a 6- 7000 difference

Just go for something you and your wallet feel comfortable with, even if it is the Movens,but don't complain once they are referred to as Brabus replicas!!

Is there a web site where I can look at these Moven wheels? How much are they?
Maybe for you it's different. For me, If these Moven are of good quality, I would definitely buy them.
