clear side markers
18 inch spokes with potenzas
wood steering wheel
amg badge on rear

The kit runs new about 3800 bucks I believe, plus whatever for install. Said to be usually around $5000 installed.

I got mine used for pennies on the dollar, so that's why I have it

But I'd suggest you save your money, and just get a klemmann supercharger instead, or just get an E55 and sell what you've got.

Supposed to be some 19-20HP or so. That's what Brabus claims. I didn't dyno anything though.

Hey James, after all this time, these are the only 8-paired spokes I've found so far (Renntech Nova's), nothing like the earlier one I'd posted but they're nice too:

Brabus & Milie Miglia

Gokool: We are running specials on both Brabus and Kleemann performance kit. Since you are in Temecula, very closed to LA, you can e-mail me with the specs you want. I can be reached at da_chen@comerica.com. But I am sorry, we only have the NEW ones available. And to the performance kit, quite honestly, I am a little bit afraid to try used ones just because the fact of "what if" if you agree.


007: To me Milie Miglia wheels are a little bit weak. For 5-spoke, how about Lorinser or OZ. Regarding the 8 pair double spoke, you can try BBS RGR and RS-GT (except the center cap says BBS if you don't mind), both are 8 pair double spoke. Same thing, for specials, I can be reached at da_chen@comerica.com. Good luck for your wheel search.

I agree, if its 5-spoke. Lorisners are sweet. OZ's come close but no polished finish on the Velas

Smile Agree

Agree, but Lorinser LM5 might be a little bit pricy. How about Lorinser RS6 and RS5 (1-piece wheels) and for sure look awsome (I have them in my showroom and those are NICE).

I only know Stemags and MBZ12 (Joe) who have them. In Europe and Asia they go by the name of ATP, so you may be able to find some reviews on those on sites of other countries...good luck!

Here's Stemags' wheels:
