New to the boards. Need help with wheels
Ok, well i drive a Mercedes/Brabus E60 thats lowered and kitted. Great car. But i was looking for wheels for it and i was in the basement and found some OLD SCHOOL 3 star Brabus wheels. I have never seen these style brabus wheels ANYWHERE before.
Anyways just wondering if anyoen can tell me how old they are and what there worth. I think i will slap them on the E60 and see how it looks regardless.
Thanks for the help, and i will post pics as soon as i have her all cleaned and a nice location picked out.
Thanks
Brabus E60

Im located in North Vancouver Canada. I purchased the car off a lady who was from China. She spoke no english and was moving back to China. I helped her move some of her belongings to the dump and other work that she needed done. Then she needed to sell this car, so i bought it from her for the small sum of $2500CDN .
The car needed some work when i picked it up (ie. motor mounts, new tires, new springs, new engine wiring harnsess, new injectors, various rubber hoses and other relays and such). The work was not an issue as my dad is a Mercedes Benz tech at the local dealer so fixing it was not really an issue.
I have had this car for less than a week now so i havent driven it much or anything. But from what i know about the car its a Mercedes Benz E60 AMG that has had various brabus addons (not sure if its the full 6.8liter Brabus motor tho. I havent even looked under the hood :P
I will snap some pics today as i have the car at home now, just need to find the cam. I will try to post a few pics tonight, nothing spectacular, just a quick few shots as its a dirty girl right now. I need to detail her before i go and take loads of pics. But it will come soon, i love photography, and cars. So i usualy combind the two :P
Thank you very much for all the help guys/gals, its appreciated greatly.
PS im just wondering is there any informative forums around that are as useful.
If this question is against forum rules please feel free to edit/delete this comment.

My E60 is prettymuch identical to that pic with the exeption of the rims and the front fenders.
The car was involved in a minor accident in which the front fenders ended up with goudges in them. And were replaced, im not sure if they looked like that before or not, but its pretty much the same.
Mine is lower tho :P
