BRABUS MONOBLOCK IV KNOWLEDGE

Which one of you guys know if the discontinued Brabus Mono IV 3 piece uses a conical or ball seat wheel lug and if the wheel is Merc hubcentric.

Brabus has been no help.....

lots of cars
I've had most versions of Brabus wheels except the monoblock III which i've been looking for in 18". I'm what you call a wheel *****... and had everything from lorinser, carlsson, brabus, OZ, MAE, BBS, Ronal...etc...

You will need hub rings to bring it down to 66.59. They come with 10mm spacers and the center bore is bigger just like Lorinser wheels. The bolts are ball seat 39mm without spacers and 49mm with the 10mm spacers.

Call CEC if you need specific info since they are the authorized dealer for Brabus. They maybe have some NOS wheels...??

Here are mine...18x8.5 +35 all around...with custom polished faces......for sale btw...

That's the info I needed..
Have left a few messages and an email or two at CEC, but no response.


I'm looking at a set of Mono IV 3 piece 8.5 x 18 ET 35 front and 10.5 x 18 ET22 rear.

Not sure if they are M12 x 1.5 or M14 x 1.5 lug bolts , but I can always get a M12 with a M14 ball seat.

If you know of anything that's 10+ inch with a low offset then I'm interested...

Found a set of 17" Aero's in the UK that have been refinished...but will cost about $2600 by the time I land them in the USA.
