I'm really interested in buying these wheels off of a friend, but I'm not that familiar with 2 piece wheels. Can the lips be changed to bigger lips? I plan to run a staggered setup with these if I can. And I can't decide on the look either. It's either I stick with my brabus monoblocks or I buy these aero IIs.

help?

The wheels look good. 2 piece means the face is seperate from the wheel and barrel. (the barrel and lip are one piece not a seperate lip). You might be able to find a wheel/barrel combo with a larger lip and mount the faces on them.

Thanks man. I did some research and found that I could use some bbs lm barrels if I'm lucky enough to find a pair for the rears.

Or i could reverse mount them, but they look more like the aero Is like that.

Looks better with the brabus one IMO bro. but if you want a much better look go for brabus VI multipiece 19's (Not chrome please) . With this amg's the cars looks much older than they are, cause this wheels are used in the W126 and some W129 first gen. W124 coupe too (amg hammer). Does'nt look bad. but is not my first choice for our cars mate. Hope you don't turn angry hahaha

Stick with your existing wheels. They look much better.

Thanks a lot guys! kept me from spending more money on wheels I didn't need lol.

And these wheels definitely grew on me once I went a little lower and put 20mm spacers in the fronts too

Looks great. Do you have any rubbing issues when you turn?

Thanks man. I turn just fine, but I need my fenders rolled because my passenger side catches the front of the fender closest to the bumper because it's not "rolled" from factory. I'm about to have it done Friday though

That's a really nice drop When I had my E430 I had the bodyshop actually paint the black lower bumpers silver to match the rest of the car. Just in-case if you get bored of the two tone.

How did the fenders come out?

i think you made the right choice there,your cars lookin great as it is but i would be tempted to paint the sills and bumper bottoms silver if it was mine.

Keep the wheels. But to answer your question, you can always get custom sized barrels at a cool wheel shop. What ever size, what ever type (stepped, rainbow) Material as well depending on how versatile the shop is.

Looking good man! I wanted to buy those Brabus rims haha

siopaolover

Thanks!
Thanks man. I've been looking to paint the black lower trim for some time, but I can't find a body shop around here that'll do it for a decent price

and the fenders came out great! I have a lot more clearance and no more rubbing
That's true. But I just don't have a ton of money to pour into getting custom lips
haha hey dude! you follow me on instagram right?
