Is anyone familiar with Moven - are they any good? And what about Nitto tires - decent? I'd like to get Brabus or Lorinser, but trying to keep the budget under control...

I like the look of the Moven 18" CL2 wheel

What do you guys think?

Brav

what do those things run? not a bad look. seem like 2 pc E55 wheel look-a-likes.

most of the wheels on that site are rip-offs of more famous manufactures. i see imitations of Brabus, Breyton, AMG, BMW M, and others that look familiar but i cant think of the name. they had a pic of an Audi A4 with imitation Breyton wheels (Breyton is a BMW tuner). im sure theyre descent wheels but that seems cheesy.

moven are really cheap rims and nitto tires are even worse.....sorry. I had a set of those tires and they popped the same day I got them. They were punctured by a really blunt object. Last time I'll ever get cheap tires.

I've decided to get the AMG multi piece rims with Pirelli P7000 tires. How's that combo sound?

P7000? bah! go for Pilot Sport A/S if youre shopping for a tire in that category. that or the continental contiextreme's.

Some interesting feedback on the different tires.

I don't know much about tires. One of my buddies has a CLK with Brabus 20" rims and has Pirelli P-Zero's. I will be getting 18" rims on my E500, and I want to maintain a smooth comfortable ride, so I didn't want to get the PZero's. Being in the Bay Area, CA, I don't need a true winter tire, so I thought an all season tire would be a good pick.

In the Pirelli line, the P7000's looked alright. I've never seen them or ridden on them. Are they as bad as those three reviews posted on TireRack make them out to be?

I still have time to tell the dealer to switch them to something else.

Pirelli are by far one of the most overrrated tires, for the price you pay, its so not worth it. I had a set of Toyo tires, those are a really good set.

P7000 has been discontinued already. Yes, it is THAT bad. One of the worst tires that money can buy. People are telling their real life experiences in here, however, if you dont believe in them, all I can say is good luck with your P7000.

OK, scratch the P7000's then.

Can someone recommend a good AMG multi-piece replica wheel, or Lorinser LM5 replica brand?

thanks.
