2005 E500 with 'some' BRABUS upgrades
Some help from the East Coast members?
Ok..here is my situation.
So I've been searching for BRABUS Monoblock 3's for the last year and everytime I come across a set they sell. Before the set I found 2 weeks ago on MBWORLD.org, I didn't come across another set since October of 2007 and before that JAN of 07. I'm always too late
I've always wanted these wheels and BRABUS wants an arm, leg and both nuts. I found a shop that actually has 4 sets of these wheels in stock. White face, Black face (ones I want) and 2 sets of chrome face ![Wootrock](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wootrock.gif)
![EEK!](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
BUT the shop is in Bloomfield NJ ![Bsflag](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/bsflag.gif)

![Wtf](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wtf.gif)
The one time I find a shop that has them in stock they are on the East Coast ![Confused](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)
I'm contacting the shop today to see if they have the black face ones in stock or any for that matter (i can just have the faces painted black). If they seem legit and DO have them in stock...
..Would someone be willing to maybe go to the shop and take a look at them for me just to be sure that the shop is legit and not a scam? I'm not asking anyone to go out of thier way. Hopefully someone lives near the area. If they cannot ship them would someone mind doing it for me? Of course I will pay all the necc. fee's plus the money for the wheels and a little extra something for time spent![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Hopefully someone can help me out. It will not go un-appreciated and I'm the type of person that shows their appreciation![drive](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/driving.gif)

Hmm..yeah it was weird to me that he only excepted Money Orders, Cashiers Checks or BidPay.com. I talk to him today and he 'seemed' legit over the phone. I told him I didn't like his methods of payment and he said he could put the wheels on Ebay in an auction and go about it that route ![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
I'm hesitant to do business with him but the guy has what I want

Good decision, man. It may have worked out with this shop but with the complaints on record it seemed like you had a 50/50 chance of a smooth transaction which is ridiculous considering you're paying your hard earned dough.

I see his truck in the Trenton area of NJ, from time to time.
I also bought a new set of 18's from him years ago on ebay. Had some problems such as the dust caps were missing, but he did make good. He actually sent me extra dust/lug covers for the wheels, but no wrench or tool to uncap the covers.
