Wheels

Hi all,
I know this has been covered many times, but I'm looking for new set of rims/tires combo. I don't want to exceed 18". What do you think of this for my 05 W211 CDI. Any comments?
Jay

I love those wheels. Brabus Monoblock S. I have the reps and they are my favorite. They are very diff and unique and I am running 18's. Performance and comfort is Great although now that I am getting used to it, i feel it wouldnt hurt to go 19's either. Not for performance reasons but for looks. check out the sig to see my setup. good luck with the buy!

Finally got them this week and installed yesterday. I will post pics as soon as I can. They look good but I have a feeling it will need to be lowered.

I like the style. The first time I saw it, it was ok but when I saw the wheels on a MB, I changed my mind.

I am negotiating to buy a 2006 CDi. With some luck I can join you diesel heads soon. Kosher Benz's wheels are very nice (CLS 500) though I also like the latest E class "Denebola" 9 twin spoke wheels. Unfortunately they come only in 19 inch size and cost the earth.

Is it true that the CDI cars have smaller rotars than the E500 and E350 gasoline cars? With the bigger wheels you can swap the larger grabbers.

Do you know if the 2005-2006 CDi rotars are smaller than the E500 or CLS 500? I read somewhere they are marginally smaller.

What is your wheel source?

This one is before my drop but a better shot of the wheels...

Ebay. I believe it was 750 inclusing shipping. Relatively cheap for replicas. I'm happy w/ them.
