Brabus wheels and KW coils
Hey guys...
The Wheel Supply offered a deal on a set of used Brabus Monoblock III 2 pcs wheels 20x9.5 all the way around with Nitto 555 (50% tread left) for around $3K. Wanted to get some input on if this is a good deal.
Also, they offered me a set of KW V2 coils for $1750 plus $225 for labor. I'm interested but the price for both the wheels and coils sound a lil harsh.
Any input is appreciated.

In addition, that particular wheel is: a) beautiful b) rare and c) doesn't have copycat replicas everywhere you look (ahem, Mono V and VI). If I had found 19" multipiece Mono IIIs at that price before I got my wheels, I would've snapped them up in a heartbeat.
I can't comment on the springs because I don't know what typical prices are. That said, I've been a loyal TWS customer for years, I don't take my car anywhere else. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but I have always found their prices to be excellent and their service second to none. They have gone the extra mile on multiple occasions to ensure that the job was done correctly (whether it be my wheel offset, ride height, exhaust fitment, interior bits, etc. etc.). They are top notch in every way.

No worries about the off-topic comments. Thanks for the input Daez Nuts. Yes, I know brand new Brabus wheels cost an arm and a left nut, but keep in mind these wheels are used and I prob have to pay for new tires in the next 3 months or so. As you know, quality tires for 20's can get expensive. I don't doubt the quality of service TWS provides, I've got friends that have dealt with them on several occassions, so I have no probs having them work on my car.
What does anyone else think?
