This is a birthday present to myself - I guess you can call these photos the before pix - because there are a bunch of mods i'm in the process of sussing out.

'04 Silverado Z71 - sold all my Benzes and need another!
Esleeper, saw your pics. in another thread and your wheels are tight. Do the guys that you recommended have a lot of different styles as well??? Looking for some black HRE style wheels without the HRE price, hehehe. Thanks!

Jimmy,
Thanks.
Yes. They can get anything. I didn't believe it but they can. The nice thing is they don't push anything. I was going to go with the MB6 brabus replica VI's in the 19x8.5's and 19x9.5's here from these guys
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-MB...95664425QQrdZ1
but saw the two piece DPE Variant 7's and had to have them.
My wheels are about half of what you would spend on HRE's and they are forged 2 piece also and weigh nothing. I would tell them what you want and they can recommend something really similar.
The quality of most brabus replicas like Monet,Moven and others like the Ebay ones in this link are all very similar. I have seen them all. I guess when purchasing the replica brabus wheels you just have to ask yourself if you want the deep rear lip in the rear or not. A couple years ago when there were no nice brabus replicas available. I was in love with no lip in the rear but now after seeing them in person I think the rear wheel with the deep lip looks really good. I guess it's in style now also.
I usually don't have good luck with large purchases but was really happy with these guys.

Red,
I have the DPE R Series RO7 Variant S's on my car. Here is a link.
http://www.dpengineering.cc/ click on wheels.
The link in the other post are the brabus MB6 replicas that I originally was going to buy from those guys. I really wanted what we all want that is HRE wheels but could not see dropping that kind of dough.
When I got there we started talking. In the meantime they actually mounted the brabus replicas on the car sans tires so I could see exactly what they look liked. They looked awesome. It was my own fault for opening up my big mouth but he said he had a set of the DPE forged 2 piece in stock for my car and the rest is history.

Hey dokotela, I have of a few guys putting 20's on the W210 but I have a question. How's the ride??? With that big of a wheel I'm assuming the ride is a bit harsh. Are you rubbing all of the place at stock height? Please share the specs on your wheels. Thanks...

Hot Hot Hot Hot Hot
It's already been 100 here, and it looks like summer is next week. We only have two seasons here, HOT (swimming) and NOT HOT (not swimming). To qualify that I don't have a heated pool.

Photo Posting
First, up your pics to a hosting site like photobucket.com or imageshack.us then when you post a msg, click the little icon that looks like mountains and a sun on a yellow background just above the text box you are typing in. Your hosting site will provide you with the url of your hosted image, just copy/paste that into the pop-up that shows when you click the little icon. If a pop-up does not show then your browser settings are blocking it.

hello there jimmy
about the wheels...
the ride is good...not so harsh.
the right tyre combo is essential which is what i'm still working on.
the wheel spec is 8.5j up front and 9.5j at the rear. the offset is 40, so the fronts are spaced for now. from my calculations, the correct wheel for the front should be either a 225/30/20 or 235/30/20.
do u hav any info that will lend a hand?
